For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the objects acceleration. When a force of 24N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 3m/s^2. If the acceleration of the object becomes 10m/s^2, what is the force

80 N

Explanation:

From the question,

F = ma ... Equation 1

Where F = Force, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration of the object.

make m the subject of the equation

m = F/a ... Equation 2

Given: F = 24 N, a = 3 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

m = 24/3

m = 8 kg.

If the acceleration of the object becomes 10 m/s²,

Substitute into equation 1

F = 10 (8)

F = 80 N.
