Question

PLEASE HELP

For a more difficult training session, the mass to be pushed is increased to 300 kg. If the players still produce a net force of 150 N, what is the acceleration of the 300 kg mass?

Answer 1

0.5m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass to be pushed = 300kg

Force = 150N

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to apply newtons second law of motion which is expressed below:

F = m a

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

150 = 300 x a

a = 0.5m/s²
