If an object has a mass of 210g and the net force acting upon it is 5.0N, what is the acceleration of that object?

24ms^-2 (2 sig figs)

Explanation:

F = ma

This means that the sum of all forces (or the net force) acting upon an object is equal to its mass x accelleration.

Its important to convert all parts of this equations in to SI units such that Force (N), Mass (kg) and Accelleration (ms^-2) to make sure that your answer is in the correct units.

F = ma so 5 = 0.21a

a = 5/0.21

a = 23.810 ms^-2 (5 sig figs)

pe = weightxheight = 2000x1000=2,000,000joules
