Question

What is the acceleration of a 100 kg object pushed by Beau with a force of 500 N? Write out your equation.

Answer 1

ProvideD :

• Mass ( m ) = 100 kg , Force ( F ) = 500 N

To FinD :

• Acceleration ( a )

SolutioN :

• We know , F = ma so put up the values and then solve for a

`\longrightarrow \tt \: 500 = 100a`

`\longrightarrow \tt \: (500)/(100) = a`

`\longrightarrow \tt \: a = \: \boxed { \tt{5 \: ms ^( - 2) }}`

• The acceleration produced is 5 ms ^ -2 .
