Question

A boy pushes a box of mass 50kg with a force of 90N. What will be the acceleration of the box due to this force

Answer 1

Hi,

Here is your answer

Given:

Mass of the box(m)=50kg

Force applied(F)=90N

To Find:

Acceleration(a)

Solution:

By Newton's second law, we know that

F=ma

a=F/m

Substitute the give datas in the equation

We get,

a=90/50

a=1.8m/s²

Notes:

1.Force applied on a object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration.

2.Newton's second law state that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of the applied force.

Hope this helps you.
