Question

Draco pushes a 3.2kg box with 1.5N of force.
What is the resultant acceleration?

Answer 1

Happy Holidays!

Recall Newton's Second Law:

$\large\boxed{\Sigma F = ma}$

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

Plug in the given values:

1.5 = 3.2a

Solve for a:

1.5/3.2 = a = 0.469 m/s²
