Question

What is the acceleration produced by a force of 5 N acting on a body
of mass 20kg?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

force=mass×acceleration

acceleration=force/mass

20/5

= 4

Answer 2

Given:-

• Force of the body = 5N
• Mass of the body = 20kg

To find:-

• Acceleration of the body.

Solution:-

We know that, force is equal to mass times acceleration. Acceleration would be equal to force upon mass. From here we can find acceleration of body, since force and mass is given.

$\sf \implies acceleration \: = \dfrac{force}{mass} \\ \sf \implies acceleration = \frac{5}{20} \\ \sf \implies acceleration = \frac{1}{4}\\ \sf \implies \small{\boxed{\boxed{ \purple{\bf acceleration = 0.25 \: ms {}^{2} }}}}$

∴ Acceleration of the body is 0.25m/s².
