Question

A box with a mass of 15 kg is pushed with a net force of 180 N. What magnitude of
acceleration will the box experience?

Answer 1

Answer:

  a = 12 m / s²

Explanation:

Let's apply Newton's second law

             F = m a

where F is the force, m the mass of the body and the acceleration

             

we clear

            a = F / m

             

let's calculate

           a = 180/15

           a = 12 m / s²

this acceleration has the same direction of the force
