Question

A box with a mass of 50 kg is being pushed to the right with a net force of 10 N. What acceleration, in m/s^2, will the box experience?

Answer 1

Answer:

newton's law

F= ma

a= F/m

= 10/50

= 0.2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\tt {\pink{Given}}\begin{cases} \sf{\green{Force=10 \: newtons}}\\ \sf{\blue{Mass=50\: kg}}\\ \sf{\orange{Acceleration= \: ?}}\end{cases}$

$\qquad \: \tiny\dag\:\underline{\tt By \: applying \: Newtons \: second \: law \: of \: motion \: we \: get : }$

$:\implies\sf Force = Mass \times Acceleration$

• This law states that, "the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the external force applied on the body and the change takes place in the direction of applied force" :]

$\qquad\tiny\dag\:\underline{\tt Now,substituting\: the \: given \: values \: in \: above \: Formula \: we \: get :}$

$:\implies\sf 10 = 50 \times Acceleration$

$:\implies\sf Acceleration = \dfrac{10}{50}$

$:\implies\underline{ \boxed{\textsf{ \textbf{ Acceleration = 0.2 m/s ^2 }}}}$

$\therefore\underline{\textsf{ Acceleration produced by the box is \textbf{0.2 m/s ^2 }}}.$
