Question

What is the acceleration produced by the force of 40 Newton acting on a body of mass 20 kg ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Acceleration (a) Produced is 3 m/s².

Given:

Applied Force (F) = 15 N

Mass of the body (M) = 5 Kg

Explanation:

$\rule{300}{1.5}</p><p>$

Newton's Second Law:

It States that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the External force applied to it.

Expression:

F = M a

Units:

S.I Units = Newtons.

C.G.S Units = dynes.

Dimensional Formula:

M L T⁻²

$\rule{300}{1.5}</p><p>$

$\rule{300}{1.5}</p><p>$

From the formula we know,

⇒ F = M a

Where,

F Denotes Force.

M Denotes Mass.

a Denotes Acceleration.

Now,

⇒ F = M a

Substituting the values,

⇒ 15 N = 5 Kg × a

⇒ 15 = 5 × a

⇒ a = 15 / 5

⇒ a = 3

⇒ a = 3 m/s².

∴ The Acceleration (a) Produced is 3 m/s².

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given : F=40 N

m=20 kg

Acceleration of the object

a= F/m

. = 40/20

. = 2m/s²
