Question

16.A force of 24.0 N was used to push an object weighing 29.5 N along a flat frictionless

horizontal surface. What is the magnitude of the acceleration achieved by the object?

Answer 1

7.97 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given weight at first find out the mass of the object

Given weight = 29.5 N

we know,

W = mg where m is mass and g is gravitational acceleration (9.8m/s^2)

⇒29.5 = m × 9.8

⇒ m = 3.01 kg

Now, from Newton's law,

F = ma

⇒ 24 = 3.01 × a

⇒ a = 7.97 m/s^2
