Question

A 10-kg block is pushed across a friction-free horizontal surface with a horizontal force of 20 n. the acceleration of the block is

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration of the block, $a=2\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the block, m = 10 kg

The horizontal force acting on the block, F = 20 N

We need to find the acceleration of the block. It can be calculated by using the second law of motion. Mathematically, it is given by :

F = m × a

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{20\ N}{10\ kg}$

$a=2\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the block is $2\ m/s^2$. Hence, this is the required solution.
