An object with a mass of 2300 g has a force of 6.2 newtons applied to it. What is the reulting acceleration of the object
Answers
Given:-
The mass of an object is 2300 g.
Force applied to it = 6.2 N
To find:-
The resulting acceleration of the object.
Solution:-
We know,
F = 6.2 N
m = 2300 g = 2300/1000 kg = 2.3 kg
a = F/m
⇒a = 6.2/2.3
So, the resulting acceleration of the object is 2.69 m/s².
QUESTION :
An object with a mass of 2300 g has a force of 6.2 newtons applied to it.
What is the reulting acceleration of the object ?
SOLUTION :
We know the following formula , which is derived from the Newton's laws of motion :
F = M × A
Where :
F is the external force applied on the object.
M is the mass of the object.
A is the acceleration of the object .
In this above Question, the following information is given :
An object with a mass of 2300 g has a force of 6.2 newtons applied to it.
Substituting these values into the above formula, we can form the following equation , which is stated below.
6.2 N =2.3 kg × A
=> A = Force / Mass
=> A = { 6.2 /2.3 } m / s ^ 2
=> a = 2.69 m / s ^ 2
ANSWER :
The resulting acceleration of the object is 2.69 m / s ^ 2.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Acceleration , and Force are vector quantities.
Mass is a scalar quantity.
The dimension of Acceleration is L×T^ { -2 }
The dimension of force is M × L × T ^ { -2 }
