Question

A wooden block has a mass of 12 kg and is experiencing a force of 6 N. Calculate the acceleration that the wooden block will experience. Give your answer to ONE DECIMAL PLACE.

Answer 1

use the formula f = m•a and rearrange it to solve for a.

f = m•a
a = f/m
a = 6N / 12 kg
a = 0.5 m/s
therefore the block is experiencing an acceleration of 0.5 m/s.
