Question

if you applied 20 N of force to a 5 kg bowling ball solve the acceleration

Answer 1

Given

If you apply 20 N of force to a 5 kg bowling ball

To Find

Acceleration

Solution

We know that

$\rm \longrightarrow a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

Here

• a = acceleration
• F = force
• m = mass

Units

• a = meter per second squared (m/s²)
• F = Newton (N)
• m = kilogram (kg)

According to the question

We are asked to find acceleration

Therefore

We must find "a"

Given that

If you apply 20 N of force to a 5 kg bowling ball

Hence

• F = 20 N
• m = 5 kg

Substituting the values

We get

$\rm \longrightarrow a=\dfrac{20}{5} \ m/s^{2}$

Hence

$\rm \longrightarrow a=4 \ m/s^{2}$

Therefore

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Answer 2

$\boxed{\rm{F=ma}}\\ \\ </p><p>→\sf 20N=5×a\\ \\ </p><p>→\sf a=\dfrac{20}{5}\\ \\ </p><p>\therefore~~ \underline{\underline{\sf{ a=4m{s}^{-2}}}}$
