Exam-style question
Try this first
A 5 kg object is subjected to a net force of 20 N. Calculate the acceleration of the object.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The acceleration of the object is 4 m/s².
Explanation
Why this works
The answer is strong because it applies Newton's second law (F = ma) correctly. The substitution shows the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, demonstrating the calculation process clearly.
This question tests the ability to apply the law to find acceleration from given force and mass values.
