Newton's Second Law, F=m.a, describes the relationship between an object's mass, a force acting on it, and the resulting acceleration, where: F is force, in Newtons m is mass, in kilograms a is acceleration, in meters per second squared A young boy and his tricycle have a combined mass of 30 kilograms. If the boy's sister gives him a push with a force of 60 Newtons, what is his acceleration? 1 2 meter per second squared 2 meters per second squared 30 meters per second squared 90 meters per second squared

Newton's Second Law, F=m.a, describes the relationship between an object's mass, a force acting on it, and the resulting acceleration, where: F is force, in Newtons m is mass, in kilograms a is acceleration, in meters per second squared A young boy and his tricycle have a combined mass of 30 kilograms. If the boy's sister gives him a push with a force of 60 Newtons, what is his acceleration? 1 2 meter per second squared 2 meters per second squared 30 meters per second squared 90 meters per second squared​

we have that

F=m*a

we have

m=30 kg

F=60 N

substitute in the formula

60=30*a

solve for a

a=60/30

a=2 m/s^2

therefore

the answer is 2 meters per second squared
