Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward application of F=ma requiring only unit conversion (50g to 0.05kg) and simple division (4/0.05=80). It's a 1-mark multiple choice question testing basic recall of Newton's second law with minimal calculation, making it significantly easier than average A-level questions.
A single force of magnitude 4 newtons acts on a particle of mass 50 grams.
Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle.
Circle your answer.
