Question

a force of 6lbs acts on an object with a weight of 35 lbs on earth. determine the objects acceleration. final answer must be 5.52ft/s^2

Answer 1

weight of body = 35 lbs
F = ma
m = F/a = 35/32 ( acceleration = 32 ft/s^2)
m= 1.09

so again using same formula,
a = F/m
a= 6/1.09
a= 5.489

or say, acceleration = 5.5 ft/s^2 !!

Answer 2

The acceleration of the object is 5.5 ft/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force = 6 lbs

Weight = 35 lbs

We need to calculate the mass

Using newton's second law

`F = mg`

`m =(F)/(g)`

Put the value into the formula

`m= (35)/(32.2)`

`m=1.09\ lb`

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

`F = ma`

Put the value into the formula

`a =(6)/(1.09)`

`a=5.5\ ft/s^2`

Hence, The acceleration of the object is 5.5 ft/s².
