Question

3. What is the acceleration of a cart with a F = 80 N and m = 32 kg? *

2.0 m/s^2

O 2.5 m/s^2

2.8 m/s^2

2.7 m/s^2

Answer 1

2.5 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 80N

Mass = 32kg

To find acceleration;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

`F = ma`

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Making acceleration (a) the subject, we have;

`Acceleration (a) = (F)/(m)`

Substituting into the equation;

`Acceleration (a) = (80)/(32)`

Acceleration = 2.5m/s²
