Answer:

a = 4 m/s2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 200 N, 50 kg

To find: a

Formula:
A = (f)/(m)

Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight

A = F ÷ m

= 200 ÷ 50

= 4 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.
