Question

A 50 KG girl on a swing is pushed with a net force of 200 N. What is the girl’s acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 4 m/s2

Explanation:

Given: 200 N, 50 kg

To find: a

Formula: $A = \frac{f}{m}$

Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight

A = F ÷ m

=  200 ÷  50

= 4 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.
