Question

A force of 5N acting on 5 kg mass. Calculate the acceleration of mass.

Answer 1

Answer: The acceleration of the mass is
`1(m)/(s^(2) )`

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the acceleration of mass we apply Newton's second law:

F=m*a Equation (1)

F= Force acting on the mass (Newton)

m= mass (kilograms)

a= acceleration (
`(m)/(s^(2) )`)

Acceleration Calculation

We replaced the Force F=5N and the mass m=5kg in the equation (1)

5=5*a

`a=(5N)/(5kg)`

`a=(5kg*(m)/(s^(2) ) )/(5kg)`

`a=1(m)/(s^(2) )`

Answer: The acceleration of the mass is
`1 (m)/(s^(2) )`
