Question

A 200-kg object has a 50-Newton rightward net force being applied to it. What is the magnitude of the rightward acceleration on the object m/s^2?

Answer 1

The formula for acceleration is force divided by mass.

Force = 50 N

Mass = 200 kg

Acceleration = ???

$\frac{50}{200} = \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

~~

Acceleration = 0.25 m/s²

~~

Next time use, f = ma in a triangle,

F

M A
