Question

If you have a block with a mass of 2 kilograms and a rope with a tension of 10 Newton’s, what will the acceleration of the block be?

Answer 1

`5 m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the tension in the rope is the only force acting on the block, then we can use Newton's second law:

`F=ma`

where

F is the net force on the block

m is the mass of the block

a is its acceleration

The tension in the rope is the only force acting on the block, so

F = T = 10 N

The mass of the block is

m = 2 kg

So, solving for a, we find the acceleration:

`a=(F)/(m)=(10)/(2)=5 m/s^2`
