Question

An object with a mass of 4.8 kg has a force of 8.6 newtons north applied to it. What is the resulting acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

acceleration of object = 1.792
`ms^(-2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mass, m = 4.8 kg

Force, F = 8.6 N = 8.6 kg
`ms^(-2)`

acceleration, a = ?

We know that the newton's second law of motion gives the relation between mass and force required to accelerate it which is expressed in the form of equation as:

F = ma

Acceleration a = F/m

= 8.6 kg
`ms^(-2)` / 4.8 kg

= 1.792
`ms^(-2)`
