Question

A 430.0 g mass is being pushed by a 1.1 N net force. What is the acceleration?

Answer 1

`a = 2.56\ m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical Force

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The object has a mass of m=430 g = 0.43 Kg and is pushed by a net force of F=1.1 N. To calculate the acceleration, we solve for a:

`\displaystyle a=(F)/(m)`

`\displaystyle a=(1.1)/(0.43)`

`\mathbf{a = 2.56\ m/s^2}`
