Question

A 5kg block is pulled across the table by a force of 61N. Calculate the acceleration of the object.

Answer 1

a = 12.2 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 5 kg, 61N

To find: Acceleration (a)

Solution:

A = F ÷ m

= 61 ÷ 5

= 12.2 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.
