F=MA Practice Problems

The mass of a car is 1000 kg. How much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3 m/s²? The answer to this question is most likely (HINT: Look at the units!!!) -

• 3000 N

• 3000 m/s²

• 3000 kg

If a 10 kilogram object accelerates suddenly at 15 m/s^2, how much force was applied to the object?

• 150 Newtons

• 15 Newtons

• 150 kilograms

• 100 kilograms

If a force of 26 N is exerted on two balls, one with a mass of 0.52 kg and the other with a mass of 0.78 kg, which ball will have the greater acceleration? (F=ma)

• The one with a mass of .78 kg will have the greatest acceleration.

• The one with a mass of .52 kg will have the greatest acceleration.

• They will both accelerate at the same rate.
