Question

A surfer with a mass of 50 kg is being pushed forward by a wave with a force of 75 Newtons. What is her acceleration?

Answer 1

Given -

• Mass (m) = 50 kg
• Force (f) = 75 N

To find -

• Acceleration.

Solution -

Here, we'll put the value of force and mass in the formula F = MA for calculating the value of Acceleration (A).

→ 75 = 50 × A

→ A = 75/50

→ A = 1.5 m/s².

Therefore, the acceleration will be 1.5 m/s².
