Question

PLEASE HELP
You are attending a Pumpkin chuckin' event where they launch pumpkins by air cannon into a field. Calculate the acceleration of a 2kg pumpkin if launched by a force of 1930 N. Show your work and include units.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

According to newtons second law, Force = mass* acceleration.

Given

Force = 1930 N

Mass of pumpkin = 2 kg

Required

Acceleration of the pumpkin

From the formula;

acceleration = Force/mass

acceleration = 1930/2

acceleration = 965m/s²

Hence  the acceleration of a 2kg pumpkin if launched by a force of 1930 N is 965m/s²
