Question

Tim and Jose are moving furniture. Tim pushes a 150 kg sofa with 300N
force. As a result, Sofa’s acceleration was __________ according to Newton’s
Second Law of motion. (F = ma)

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 2m/s²

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sofa = 150 Kg

Force applied = 300 N

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Formula:

F = ma

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

by putting values,

300 N = 150 Kg × a

a =  300 N /150 Kg

a = 300 Kg m/s² / 150 Kg   ( N = Kgm/s²)

a = 2m/s²
