If an object having mass of 1 kg is subjected to a force of 1 N it moves with

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass [t1][t4]. This relationship is mathematically expressed by the formula F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration [t1][t5]. By rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration (a = F/m), we can determine the motion of the object [t4][t5]. In this specific case, a force of 1 Newton (1 N) is applied to an object with a mass of 1 kilogram (1 kg). Substituting these values into the equation gives a = 1 N / 1 kg, which results in an acceleration of 1 m/s². A Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a 1 kg mass at a rate of 1 m/s² [t1]. Therefore, the object moves with an acceleration of 1 m/s².
