Question

A 200 kg sailboat experiences an unbalanced force of 895 N pushing it forward, what is the sailboat's acceleration?

Answer 1

4.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 200kg

Force= 895N

Required

the acceleration a

We know that

F=ma

a= F/m

substitute

a= 895/200

a= 4.5 m/s^2

Hence the accelaration is 4.5m/s^2
