Question

What is acceleration a vehicle having 200 kg of mass will get after applying a force of 10,000
N?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

As we know,

Force = mass × acceleration

=> 10000 = 200 × a

=> a = 50ms^-2.

ANS.

Answer 2

Given:-

• Mass (m) of the vehicle = 200 kg
• Force (F) exerted on it = 10,000 N

We know,

F = ma

where,

• F = Force,
• m = Mass &
• a = Acceleration.

Let the acceleration be in this case be = a

∴ ma = F

→ a = F/m

→ a = (10,000 N)/(200 kg)

→ a = (10,000 kg m/s²)/(200 kg)

→ a = (10,000 m/s²)/(200)

→ a = (100 m/s²)/2

→ a = 50 m/s²

∴ The force generated an acceleration of 50 m/s² on the vehicle.
