A net force of 125 N accelerates a 25.0 kg mass. What is the resulting acceleration?

We Know, F = m*a
Here, m = 0.25 Kg
F = 125 N

Substitute it into the expression,
125 = 25 * a
a = 125/25
a = 5

So, your final answer is 5

Hope this helps!

Answer:
a=5 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be calculated by using Newton's second law:


F=ma

where

F is the net force applied on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have F=125 N and m=25.0 kg, so we can rearrange the equation to calculate the acceleration:


a=(F)/(m)=(125 N)/(25.0 kg)=5 m/s^2
