Question

What is the acceleration rate of an object if the amount of force applied on the object is 75 Newtons and the object has a mass of 15 kilogram?

Answer 1

Recall Newton's second law:

F = ma

F is the force exerted on the object.

m is the mass of the object.

a is the acceleration of the object.

Given values:

F = 75 N

m = 15 kg

Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for a:

75 = 15×a

a = m/s²
