Question

A 20 kg object is pushed with a force of 100 N. What is the resulting acceleration of the
object to the nearest hundredth of a m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=5\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of the object is 20 kg

Force acting on the object is 100 N

It is required to find the resulting acceleration of the  object. Let a is the acceleration. The force acting on object is given by :

$F=ma$

a is acceleration

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{100\ N}{20\ kg}\\\\a=5\ m/s^2$

So, the resulting acceleration of the  object is $5\ m/s^2$.
