Question

An object with a mass of 10.9 kg experiences a force of 18.53 N. What is the acceleration of the object?
A.
2.2 m/s2
B.
1.7 m/s2
C.
16.83 m/s2
D.
1.3 m/s2

Answer 1

Answer: 1.7m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of object = 10.9 kg

force = 18.53

Acceleration of the object = ?

Since force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = mass x acceleration

18.53 N = 10.9 kg x acceleration

Acceleration = (18.53 N / 10.9 kg)

Acceleration = 1.7m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the object is 1.7m/s^2
