Answer:
4m/s² north.
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include the following:
Mass (m) = 10Kg
Force (F) = 40N North.
Acceleration (a) =...?
Force is simply the product of mass and acceleration. It is represented mathematically as:
Force (F) = Mass (m) x acceleration (a)
F = ma
With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the object as follow:
40 = 10 x a
Divide both side by 10
a = 40/10
a = 4m/s²
Since the force was applied in the north direction, the object will also accelerate in the north direction. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4m/s² north.
