Question

A 12n net force acts on a 4-kg jug of water. What is the resulting acceleration of the jug?

Answer 1

`3 m/s^(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Second Law...

Force = Mass * Acceleration

12 = 4 * Acceleration

12/4 = 3 = Acceleration

Answer 2

Answer: 3m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Net force = 12N

Mass of jug = 4kg

Acceleration of the jug = ?

Recall that force is the product of the mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

12N = 4kg x Acceleration

Acceleration = 12N/4kg

Acceleration = 3m/s^2

Thus, the resulting acceleration of the jug is 3m/s^2
