Question

9. A 227 kg object is moved a distance of 2.4 m forward by a force. If 686 J of work is done on the object, what is the object’s acceleration?

Answer 1

1.259ms^2

Explanation:

since, WORK DONE = FORCE*DISTANCE

AND, FORCE=MASS*ACCELERATION

SO, THE WORK DONE BECOMES=MASS*ACCELERATION*DISTANCE

ACCELERATION=WORK/(MASS*DISTANCE)

AND, WORK=686J

MASS=227kg

DISTANCE=2.4m

THEREFORE, ACCELERATION=686/(227*2.4)

=686/544.8

=1.259ms^2
