Question

What is the acceleration of a rock with a mass of 30 kg if it produces a force of 247 N?

Answer 1

Acceleration =
`8.2\bar3(m)/(s^2)`

Explanation:

Recall:

• Acceleration ->
  `{m}/{s}^2`
• Force (N) ->
  `\overrightarrow F=m\overrightarrow a`
• Mass (kg) ->
  `m`

Given:

• Force ->
  `247 N`
• Mass ->
  `30kg`

Calculation:

`\overrightarrow F=m\overrightarrow a`

`247N=(30kg)\overrightarrow a`

`(247N)/(30kg)=\overrightarrow a`

`8.2\bar3(m)/(s^2)=\overrightarrow a`

Conclusion:

The acceleration of the rock would be
`8.2\bar3(m)/(s^2)`
