What force would be needed to produce an acceleration of `4m//s^(2)` on a ball of mass 6`kg`

A

52 N

B

24 N

C

12 N

D

NONE

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The force needed is to be calculated by using the relation:
Force = mass `xx` acceleration
or F=m`xx`a
Here, Force,f=? (to be calculated)
Mass, m= 6 kg
And, Acceleration, a = 4 m/`s^(2)`
Now, putting these values of m and a in the above equation, we get:
`F=6xx4`
or Force, F= 24 N
Thus, the force needed is of 24 newtons.
