Question

What is the acceleration of a 30 kg object when 180 N of a force is applied to it?

A) 6.0 m/s2
B) 60 m/s2
C) 210 m/s2
D) 5,400 m/s2

Answer 1

We must know that
`F=ma`, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the aceleration. Then:


`F=ma\Longrightarrow 180=30a\iff a=(180)/(30)\iff\boxed{a=6~m/s^2}\\\\\text{The answer is A.}`
