8. Using Newton's second law, solve the following problems using GFFS.
a. A force of 35N is applied to a 25kg object, what is its
acceleration??
b. What force is required to accelerate a 14kg object at 4.5
m/s2?
c. Calculate the mass of an object that accelerated at a rate of
2.7 m/s2 by a force of 18N.

powerful computers now, not then

if the person is shown to have +90n, then ans is -10n.

if the person is shown to have -90n, then ans is +10n.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
