Question

A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a=a1+Fm where a1=3.00 meter/second2, F=12.0kilogram⋅meter/second2 and m=7.00kilogram. what is the value of a?

Answer 1

Complete Question

Now if you look at the equation for acceleration given in the question i.e

`a = a_1 + F * m`

We see that evaluating it in terms of dimension it is incorrect instead the equation should be

`a = a_1 + (F)/(m)`

So in the solution below we will be making use of
`a = a_1 + (F)/(m)`

Answer:

The values of a is
`a = 4.714 \ m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The expression for the acceleration is
`a = a_1 + (F)/(m)`

The value of
`a_ 1 = 3.0 \ m/s^2`

The values of
`F = 12.0 \ kg \cdot m/s^2`

The values of m is
`m = 7.0 \ kg`

substituting values

`a = 3 + (12)/(7)`

`a = 4.714 \ m/s^2`
