Question

what is the acceleration produced in a body of mass 5 kg when 7 N force is applied on it?​

Answer 1

Given :

• Mass of a body = 5 kg

• Force applied on the body = 7 N

To find :

• The acceleration produced in the body when the force of 7 N acts on it

Solution :

★ Force is an external push or pull that tends to change the direction or shape of the body.

It is the product of mass and acceleration.

Formula to find force :-

→ Force = ma

where,

• m denotes the mass of the body

• a denotes the acceleration

we have,

• Force = 7 N

• Mass = 5 kg

Substituting the given values :-

→ 7 = 5 × Acceleration

→ 7 ÷ 5 = Acceleration

→ 1.4 = Acceleration

Therefore, the acceleration of the body = 1.4 m/s²
