Question

An object with a mass of 20.0 kg has a force of 5.0 newtons applied to it.
What is the resulting acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

Answer:

5N/20KG = 1/4 MS(2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The resultant acceleration of the object is 0.25 m/s².

Given:

mass = 20 kg

force = 5 N

To find: resultant acceleration

Solution:

Let acceleration be a,

force applied be F,

and mass of the body be m.

We know that,

F = ma

⇒ 5 = 20a

⇒ a = 5/20

⇒ a = 0.25 m/s²

∴ The resultant acceleration of the object is 0.25 m/s².
