Answer:
- The Acceleration (a) Produced is 3 m/s².
Given:
- Applied Force (F) = 15 N
- Mass of the body (M) = 5 Kg
Explanation:
Newton's Second Law:
It States that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the External force applied to it.
Expression:
- F = M a
Units:
- S.I Units = Newtons.
- C.G.S Units = dynes.
Dimensional Formula:
- M L T⁻²
From the formula we know,
⇒ F = M a
Where,
- F Denotes Force.
- M Denotes Mass.
- a Denotes Acceleration.
Now,
⇒ F = M a
Substituting the values,
⇒ 15 N = 5 Kg × a
⇒ 15 = 5 × a
⇒ a = 15 / 5
⇒ a = 3
⇒ a = 3 m/s².
∴ The Acceleration (a) Produced is 3 m/s².
