Question

A 10 kg box is pushed with a force of 20N. What is the box's acceleration?

200 m/s


2 m/s2


2 m/s


200 m/s2

Answer 1

The following formula gives the connection between the force, the mass and the acceleration:
F=ma
In our case we know the force and the mass. F=20N and m=10kg
a=F/m
a=20m/s^2/10=2m/s^2
