An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?

0.25 m/s2
4 m/s2
60 m/s2
100 m/s2

Newton's 2nd law of motion says

                   Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Plug in the things you know, and you have

                   80 N  =  (20 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (20 kg) :

                  80N / 20kg  =  acceleration

                   acceleration  =  4 m/s²

Answer:

acceleration  =  4 m/s²
