Question

7. An unbalanced force of 25.0 N in an Easterly direction is applied to a 12.5 kg mass. What

will be the acceleration of the mass?

Answer 1

Hello, use 2nd law of Newton:

F = ma

Replacing you have:

25 N = 12.5 kg * a

Resolving:

25 N / 12.5 kg = a

2 m/s² = a

Result:

The aceleration of the mass will be 2 meters per second squared.
