Question

Numerical:

a) A body of mass 50kg is moving in a forward direction when a force of 10N is applied on it. Calculate
the acceleration produced in the body

​

Answer 1

`\boxed{a = 0.2 m/s^2}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Force = F = 10 N

Mass = m = 50 kg

Required:

Acceleration = a = ?

Formula:

F = ma

Solution:

For a, the formula will be:

=> a = F/m

=> a = 10/50

=> a = 0.2 m/s²
