Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

12.2 m / s²

Explanation:

Force (F) = 61 N

Mass (m)= 5 kg

Acceleration (a) = ?

F = m * a

61 = 5 * a

⇒ a = 61 / 5

⇒ a = 12.2 m / s²

So, the acceleration of the object is 12.2 m / s²

Answer 2

The answer is 12.2m/s²

GIVEN

A 5kg block is pulled across a table by a force of 61 N.

TO FIND

The acceleration of the object.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

We know that force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration,

Therefore,

F = ma

Where,

F = Force exerted

m = mass of the block

a = acceleration applied.

Putting the values in the above formula we get,

F = ma

61 = 5a

a = 61/5 = 12.2 m/s²

Hence, The answer is 12.2m/s²
