Answer 1

5. **Acceleration Calculation:*** **Formula:** Newton's Second Law states Force = mass * acceleration (F=ma). We can rearrange this to find acceleration: a = F/m* **Calculation:** a = 60 N / 15 kg = 4 m/s²* **Answer:** The acceleration of the object is 4 m/s².6. **Net Force Direction:*** **Calculation:** Since the forces are acting along the same line, we can subtract the smaller force from the larger force to find the net force. 25 N (right) - 10 N (left) = 15 N (right)* **Answer:** The object will move to the right, and the net force is 15 N to the right.7. **Balanced Forces Example:*** **Scenario:** A book resting on a table.* **Explanation:** Gravity is pulling the book downwards, and the table is exerting an equal and opposite upward force (the normal force) on the book. We know the forces are balanced because the book is not accelerating; it remains at rest.8. **Unbalanced Forces Example:*** **Scenario:** A person pushing a shopping cart.* **Explanation:** The person applies a force to the cart in the forward direction. If this force is greater than the opposing forces of friction and air resistance, the cart will accelerate in the forward direction. The forces are unbalanced because there is a net force in the forward direction, causing motion.9. **Mass and Acceleration:*** **Explanation:** Newton's Second Law (F=ma) states that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass. Therefore, if the same net force is applied to two objects with different masses, the object with the smaller mass will experience a greater acceleration, and the object with the larger mass will experience a smaller acceleration. For example, if you push a small toy car and a large truck with the same force, the toy car will accelerate much more than the truck.
