Can you find the force, mass, or acceleration in each of these practice problems?

You can find the acceleration, the mass of an object, and the net force acting on an object using Newton's Second Law of Motion. Use \(\small\mathsf{ \overrightarrow{F} = m \overrightarrow{a} }\) to solve each problem, then match the problem with the solution.

A dog can drag a 40.0 kg sled at a rate of 2.00 m/s2. How much force (in Newtons) is the dog exerting?
What net external force (in Newtons) is required to give a 24.0 kg box an acceleration of 3.30 m/s2 to the left?
You are applying a force of 200. N to push a box that has a mass of 20.0 kg across the floor. What is the acceleration (in m/s2) rate of the box?
What force (in Newtons) must be applied to push a weight 50.0 kg at 5.00 m/s2?
What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of a 400 kg .box that has a 800. N force applied to it?
What mass is accelerated at 50.0 m/s2 by a 200 Newton force?
80.0
79.2
10.0
250.
2.00
4.00
