A wagon has a mass of 100 grams and an

acceleration of 2m/s/s. What is the force on the

wagon?

Answer: 0.2N

Explanation:

mass of wagon = 100 grams

Convert mass in grams to kilograms

If 1000 grams = 1kg

100 grams = (100/1000) = 0.1kg

Acceleration of wagon = 2m/s/s

Force on the wagon = ?

Recall that Force is the product of mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.

i. e Force = mass x acceleration

Force = 0.1kg x 2m/s/s

Force = 0.2N

Thus, the force on the wagon is 0.2Newton
