Question

A net force of 125 N accelerates a 25.0 kg mass. What is the resulting acceleration?

0.200 m/s^2
0.400 m/s^2
2.50 m/s^2
5.00 m/s^2
100. m/s^2

Answer 1

The correct answer is 5.00 m/s^2

Explanation:
According to Newton's second law:
F = ma ----- (1)

Where F = net force acting on the body = 125N
m = mass of the body = 25N
a = Acceleration of the body due to the applied force = ?

Plug-in the values in equation (1):
(1) => a = F/m
a = 125N/25kg
Hence a = 5.00 m/s^2
