Question

Force of 4N is applied on a body of mass 20 kg. What is its acceleration

Answer 1

Answer:

The acceleration of the body = 0.2 m/$s^{2}$.

Explanation:

Force is defined as the push or pull applied on any object.

It can be mathematically represented as force is equal to mass times acceleration.

Force = F = 4 N.

Mass = m = 20 kg.

Acceleration = a .

Force can be calculated by using the following formula:

F = m $\times$ a.

Therefore,

a = $\frac{F}{m}$

Plugging the values of the above constant we have:

a = $\frac{4}{20}$

  = 0.2 m/$s^{2}$.

Therefore the required value of the acceleration = 0.2 m/$s^{2}$.
