Question

a force f =3i+ 4j newton is applied on abody of mass 2 kg calculate the magnitude and direction of the accleration in the body

Answer 1

The magnitude of force can be calculated as follows√3^2+4^2

=√25

=5N

Now applying the formula

F=m×a

5=2×a

a=2.5m/s^2

Direction of acceleration is along the direction of force {According to Newton's second law of motion}
