Question

a force of 1265N pushes a satellite with a mass of 300kg. what will be the acceleration of the satellite

Answer 1

acceleration = 4.21 [m/s^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion tells us if that the sum of forces on a body is not equal to zero, this body will move with a constant acceleration.

This we can explain in the following equation:

`F=m*a\\where:\\F=force [N]\\m=mass[kg]\\a=acceleration[m/s^2]\\`

Replacing the values we have.

`a=(F)/(a) \\a=(1265)/(300)\\ a=4.21[m/s^(2) ]`
