Question

A small child has a wagon with a mass of 10kg. The child pulls on the wagon with a force of 2N. What is the acceleration of the wagon?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2 m / sec²

Explanation:

Given :

Mass m = 10 kg

Force F = 2 N

We are asked to find acceleration a :

We know :

Force = Mass × Acceleration :

F = m a

= > a = F / m

Putting values here we get :

= > a = 2 / 10 m / sec²

= > a = 0.2 m / sec²

Therefore , required acceleration is  0.2 m / sec².

Answer 2

$\large{\green{\underline{GIVEN}}}$:

★Mass of the wagon is 10kg

★Force applied is 10N

$\large{\red{\underline{TO \:FIND}}}$:

★The acceleration of the wagon.

$\large{\purple{\underline{CONCEPT\:USED}}}$:

★We would use the formula of force to find out the answer.

$\large{\pink{\underline{ANSWER}}}$:

We know,

$\large\green{\boxed{F=m×a}}$

where

• m is the mass
• F is the force
• a is the acceleration

=>$F = ma$

=>$2N=10kg\times a$

=>$a=\dfrac{2}{10}ms^{-2}$

. °.$a=0.2ms^{-2}$

Therefore the acceleration of the block is $<b>$$0.2ms^-2$

$\huge\orange{\boxed{ a=0.2ms^{-2}}}$
