Question

A force of 200 N is exerted on an object of mass 40 kg. What is the
acceleration?

Answer 1

The acceleration is 5 m/s2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We calculate the acceleration, with the data of mass and force, through the formula:

F= m x a ---> a= F/m

a= 200 N/40 kg 1N= 1 kg x m/s2

a= 200 kg x m/s2/ 40 kg

a= 5 m/s2
