Acceleration 1-N force to 1-kg object

[DubKing]

Homework Statement

What acceleration can a 1-N force give to a 1-kg object?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

No clue how to attempt it. I'm an 8th grade science student. you need at least .1021 to move the object

Assuming the 1 N force is a net force applied to the 1 kg mass, you need to use Newton's 2nd Law to find the acceleration. Do you know it?

Is it F=ma?

 

[DubKing]

would that mean I need f/m=a to solve?

Yes, good job!

Is the acceleration 9.80? 1/.102=9.80 m/sec/sec?

Thank you for your help

No, check out your algebra and basic knowledge of Physics. If a=f/m, and f=1 N and m= 1 kg, then a =? I think you're confusing mass with weight. They are not the same.

i have some question like this can u try to help me too..

 

[kim032688]

if the mass is 1g and the force is 1dyn what is the acceleration..pls give me 1 example..tnx

This is a somewhat old thread, it would normally be best to make a new one with your problem. That said, you have the exact same problem as the OP had, just that you're using different units. Remember 1 dyn= 1 g cm/s^2.
