Question

What is the acceleration of a 20 kg backpack lifted with a force of 15 N?

a. 0.75 m/s2
b. 1.33 m/s2
c. 300 m/s2
d. 5 m/s2

Answer 1

0.75 m/s2

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75 m/s2

Answer 2

The answer is option A. 0.75 m/s^2

the formula needed to solve this is acceleration = force/mass

we know the following:

mass of the backpack = 20KG

the force is 15N

therefor- acceleration = 15/20

which can also be written as 3/4, leaving us with the final answer of .75 m/s^2
