The correct answer is 2 ms-2

- We know that according to Newton's 2nd law,
- Force = Mass × Acceleration
- or \((\vec F = m \times \vec a)\)
- Here, F = 100 N and Mass = 50 Kg
- So, 100 = 50x a ⇒ a = 100/50 = 2.
- Hence, the acceleration will be 2 ms-2.
- Force: A force is something that changes the state of rest or motion of a body.
- It causes the body to start moving if it is at rest or stops if it is in motion or deflects from the initial path.
- Force is a vector quantity having SI unit Newton (N) and dimension (MLT-2).
- According to Newton’s Second law of motion
- The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the resulting force acting on a body
- Mathematically it can be expressed as
- \(\vec F \propto \frac{{d\vec p}}{{dt}}\;or\;\vec F = m \times a\)
