Question

In the formula, F = kma, k represents which unit?

  1. Constant of proportionality
  2. Boltzmann constant
  3. Kappa
  4. Speed of the object

hintHint:

Constant of proportionality

The correct answer is: Constant of proportionality


    •  F=kma, k can be taken as 1 when unit of force is so chosen (in S.I. units) that it produces unit acceleration in a unit mass.
    • F = ma
    • k represents constant of proportionality.
