Question

Calculate the acceleration of a 23.9 kg mass when a net force of 158N north acts on it. Answer is 6.61ms^-2 north. Need to know how to get there.

Answer 1

formula F = m * a

Step-by-step explanation:

F = m * a

F = force = 158 N

m = mass = 23.9 kg

a = acceleration

158 = 23.9 * a

a = 158 / 23.9

a = 6.61m/s²

therefore, use the formula F = m * a
