Question

What is the acceleration of a skateboarder of mass 46 kg who is being pushed forward with a force 120N?

Answer 1

The acceleration of this skateboarder is 2.61 m/s^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

120=46*a

/46 /46

2.61 m/s^2=a

Answer 2

Force = mass * acceleration. Therefore, given the force of 120 N and the mass of 46 kg:
120 N = 46 kg * acceleration
120 kg-m/s^2 = 46 kg * acceleration (in m/s^2)
acceleration = 120/46 = 2.61 m/s^2
