Question

A 75 Kg skateboarder is riding downhill, exerting 25 N. What is their acceleration?

Answer 1

`a=0.33(m)/(s^2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the force is defined in terms of the mass and acceleration as follows:

`F=ma`

Given the force and the mass, we can compute the acceleration as shown below:

`a=(F)/(m)=(25N)/(75kg)=(25kg(m)/(s^2) )/(75kg)\\ \\a=0.33(m)/(s^2)`

Best regards.
