The force acting upon the person is 5N and the mass of the person is 132.6lb what would the acceleration of the person be? (20 p
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

8.31 cm/s²

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration from the mass and force, we do

acceleration (m/s²)= force (N) / mass (kg)

We first have to convert pounds to kilograms.

1 pound = 0.454 kg.

132.6 pounds = 0.454 x 132.6

= 60.2 kg

acceleration = 5 / 60.2kg

acceleration - 0.0083 m/s²

Convert to cm

acceleration = 8.31 cm/s²
