Question

The acceleration produced by a force of 5N acting on the mass of 20 kg in m/s square is

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 m/s2

Explanation:

f=ma

5=20 x a

a=0.25

Answer 2

Given:

A force of 5N acting on the mass of 20 kg.

To find:

Acceleration produced in that object.

Calculation:

Force is a vector quantity represented by the product of mass and acceleration.

$\rm{force = mass \times acceleration}$

$= > \rm{ acceleration = \dfrac{force}{mass} }$

$= > \rm{ acceleration = \dfrac{5}{20} }$

$= > \rm{ acceleration = 0.25 \: m {s}^{ - 2} }$

So, final answer is:

$\boxed{ \rm{ acceleration = 0.25 \: m {s}^{ - 2} }}$

Important things to know:

• Acceleration is also a vector quantity represented by both magnitude as well as directions.

• Acceleration is defined as the instantaneous rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
