Question

A force of 10.0 N is applied to a 6.0 kg obiect to move it across a smooth surface. The surface is frictionless. Draw and level all the forces, Calculate the acceleration of the object.

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=1.66\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the object across a smooth surface, F = 10 N

Mass of the object, m = 6 kg

Let a is the acceleration of the object. The forces acting on teh object is given by :

F = ma

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{10\ N}{6\ kg}$

$a=1.66\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the object is $1.66\ m/s^2$. Hence, this is required solution.
