Question

A 4 kilogram box is at rest on a frictionless floor. A net force of 12 newtons acts on it. What is the acceleration of the box?

Answer 1

3 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

Mass m= 4kg

Force F= 12N

Required

Acceleration the relation between force, acceleration, and mass is Newton's first equation of motion, which says a body will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force

F=ma

a=F/m

a=12/4

a=3 m/s^2
