Question

Define one-Newton and hence find the acceleration of the object, when a force of 440N is applied on the object of mass 55kg. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1 N is the force required to give a mass of 1 kg an acceleration of 1 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ meaning the force required to increase the velocity of a mass of 1 kg by 1 m/s in 1 s.

By Newton's second Law : F = ma

a = F/m

a = 440/55

a = 8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$
