A force of 40N is applied to a 28 g mass, what is the acceleration? (round to the hundredths place)
1 answer:
Answer:
1428.6m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Force applied on the body = 40N
Mass of the body = 28g
1000g = 1kg
28g will therefore be 0.028kg
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use the expression derived from Newton's second law of motion.
Force = mass x acceleration
Insert the parameters and solve;
40 = 0.028 x acceleration
Acceleration = = 1428.6m/s²

The acceleration of the car in SI units is <u>2.68m/s².</u>
The acceleration is <u>0.27</u> times the acceleration due to gravity g.
Convert the speed in mph into m/s.
1 mile = 1609 m and 1h = 3600 s.
Therefore,
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. The car starts from rest , its initial velocity u = 0 and accelerates to a velocity v of 26.82 m/s in 10 s.
Use these values in the equation and calculate the acceleration.
Thus the car accelerates at a rate of <u>2.68 m/s².</u>
The acceleration due to gravity g on Earth has a value 9.81 m/s².
Find the ratio
The car's acceleration is <u>0.27 times the value of g.</u>
