Question

03
A force of 20 N acts upon a 5 kg block. Calculate the acceleration of the object.​

Answer 1

The equation we use is F=ma
(Force = mass x acceleration)

We are going to put each number in the equation:
F=ma
20N = 5kg x (?)

So, to find a (acceleration), we do F/m
[acceleration = force/mass]

a = 20/5 = 4

The answer is 4m/s^2
