Question

What acceleration will you give to a 27.8 kg

box if you push it with a force of 75.7 N?
Answer in units of m/s2.

Answer 1

2.72m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters;

Mass of box = 27.8kg

Force on box = 75.7N

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration;

Force = mass x acceleration

Now insert the parameters and solve;

75.7 = 27.8 x a

a =
`(75.7)/(27.8)` = 2.72m/s²
