Question

A surfer with a mass of 50kg is being pushed forward by a wave with a force of 75 Newton’s.what is her acceleration?

Answer 1

1.5 m/s².

Explanation:

→ 75 = 50 × A

→ A = 75/50

→ A = 1.5 m/s².

Answer 2

Explanation:

The governing equation here is F = ma, where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the moving object, and a is the acceleration of the object.

Solving for a, we get a = F/m.

Substituting 75 N for F and 50 kg for m, we get:

75 N

a = --------------- = (3/2) meters per second squared

50 kg
