Question

How much would a 30kg block of ice accelerate if a 200N dropkick was applied directly to its side? (Assume frictionless surface)

Answer 1

Given that,

mass, m = 30 kg

Force, F = 200 N

acceleration, a = ?

Since, we know that,

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 200/30

a = 6.667 m/s²

acceleration of 30 kg block of ice will be 6.667 m/s².
