Question

Force (N) = 250 Mass (kg) = 221 Acceleration (m/s^2) = ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The required acceleration is $a=1.1$ m/s²

Explanation:

Given

• Force F = 250 N

• Mass m = 221 kg

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

We know that acceleration is produced when a force is applied to a body.

The acceleration can be determined using the formula

$F = ma$

where

• F is the force

• m is the mass

• a is the acceleration

now substituting F = 250 , and m = 221 in the formula

$F = ma$

$250 = 221 (a)$

switch the equation

$221(a) = 250$

Divide both sides by 221

$\frac{221a}{221}=\frac{250}{221}$

simplify

$a=\frac{250}{221}$

$a=1.1$ m/s²

Therefore, the required acceleration is $a=1.1$ m/s²
