Question

A small child has a wagon with a mass of 10 kilograms. The child pulls on the wagon with a force of 2 newtons. What is the acceleration of the wagon?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

Mass ( m ) = 10 kg

Force ( f ) = 2 Newtons

Acceleration ( a ) = ?

Now, let's find the acceleration :

We know that,

$f = ma$

Plug the values

$2 = 10a$

Swap the sides of the equation

$10a = 2$

Divide both sides of the equation by 10

$\frac{10a}{10} = \frac{2}{10}$

Calculate

$a = 0.2 \: {metre \: per \: second \: }^{2}$

Hope this helps...
