Question

What acceleration will you give to a 25kg box if you push it with a force of 85N

Answer 1

Answer:

3.4 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

• Mass of the box as 25 kg
• Force is 85 N

We are required to determine the acceleration;

• According to second newton's law of motion force is given by the product of mass and acceleration.
• That is;

Force = ma

Rearranging the formula;

a = F ÷ m

Therefore;

acceleration = 85 N ÷ 25 kg

                       = 3.4 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the box will be 3.4 m/s²
