Question

A force F =3i+4j newton is applied on a body off mass 2kg calculate the magnitude direction acceleration on the body

Answer 1

The magnitude of the force can be calculated as follows:

√3^2+4^2

=√25

=5N

Now the applying the formula

F=m×a

5=2×a

a=5/2

=2.5m/s^2

Direction of acceleration is along the direction of force.{According to Newton's 2nd law}
