Question

A ball is being pushed with a force of 50 N. If the ball has a mass of 0.5 kg, what will the acceleration be?

Answer 1

Important Formulas:

`F=ma`

force(measured in newtons) = mass(measured in kg) * acceleration(measured in m/s^2)

__________________________________________________________

Given:

`F=50N`

`m=0.5kg`

`a=?`

__________________________________________________________

In order to find acceleration, we will need to rearrange the force formula to make acceleration the subject.

`F=ma`

`(F)/(m) =(ma)/(m)`

`a=(F)/(m)`

__________________________________________________________

Finding acceleration:

`a=(F)/(m)`

`a=(50)/(0.5)`

__________________________________________________________

`\fbox{a = 100 m/s squared}`
