Question

A small child has a wagon with a mass of 10 kilograms. The child pulls on the wagon with a force of 2 newtons. What is the acceleration of the wagon?

Answer 1

0.2 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mass ( m ) = 10 kg

Force ( f ) = 2 Newtons

Acceleration ( a ) = ?

Now, let's find the acceleration :

We know that,

`f = ma`

Plug the values

`2 = 10a`

Swap the sides of the equation

`10a = 2`

Divide both sides of the equation by 10

`(10a)/(10) = (2)/(10)`

Calculate

`a = 0.2 \: {metre \: per \: second \: }^(2)`

Hope this helps...
