Q81 / 270 · NDA 2016 (Phase 2) · General Ability

When a force of 1 newton acts on a mass of 1 kg which is able to move freely, the object moves in the direction of force with a/an

  • A
    speed of $1 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    acceleration of $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
  • C
    speed of $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  • D
    acceleration of $1 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}^2$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Force }(\mathrm{F})=\text { Mass }(\mathrm{m}) \times \operatorname{acceleration}(\mathrm{a}) \\ & \text {acceleration } \begin{aligned}(\mathrm{a}) & =\text { Force }(\mathrm{F}) / \operatorname{Mass}(\mathrm{m}) \\ & =1 \text { newton } / 1 \mathrm{~kg}=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\end{aligned}\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
