If a 20 N force is applied to a 50 kg mass, then the acceleration acquired by the body is 0.4 m/s².
¿How to calculate the acceleration of a body?
It is possible to know the acceleration of a body from Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration is defined as:
Where:
- A = acceleration
- F = force
- M = mass
Troubleshooting:
We proceed to find the acceleration of the body, such that:
- a = F/m
- a = 20N / 50kg
- a = 0.4m/s²
