Question

If you apply a net force of 5N on a cart with a mass of 5 kg, show that the acceleration is 1 m/s2.

(SHOW WORK)

Answer 1

Answer: F = 5kg x 1 m/s2 = 5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Force (F) = mass x acceleration

Replacing with the values given and solving for F (force)

F = 5kg x 1 m/s2 = 5 kgm/s2

Since 1 Newton (N) = 1 kgm/s2

F = 5N
