Question

A 5 kg block is pulled across a table by force of 61 N. Calculate the acceleration of the object

Answer 1

Force = 61N

Mass = 5kg

Acceleration = ?

$Formula \: for \: acceleration \: = \: \frac{force}{mass} \\ a = \frac{61}{5} \\ a = 12.5 {mps}^{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The acceleration is $12.5m/s^{2}$.

Explanation:

It is given that

Force, $f=61N$

Mass $m=5kg$

From Newton's second law:

It states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

Mathematically

$F=ma$

Using values

$61=5a$

$a=\frac{61}{5}$

$a=12.5m/s^{2}$
