A net force of 40 N south acts on an object with a mass of 20 kg. What is the object's acceleration?
(Hint: Use the formula a = f/m

A. a = 4 m/s 2 north
B. a = 2 m/s2 south
C. a = 10 m/s2 south
D. a = 20 m/s 2 north

B. 2m/s² south

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Net force  = 40N

Mass  = 20kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the object = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use;

            F = ma

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

          a  =  

          a =   = 2m/s²

The acceleration of the object is 2m/s² south

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
