Question

A 75 Kg skateboarder is riding downhill, exerting 25 N. What is their acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

$a=0.33\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the force is defined in terms of the mass and acceleration as follows:

$F=ma$

Given the force and the mass, we can compute the acceleration as shown below:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{25N}{75kg}=\frac{25kg\frac{m}{s^2} }{75kg}\\ \\a=0.33\frac{m}{s^2}$

Best regards.
