A boy pushes a box of mass 20kg with a for every of 50N.What is the acceleration of the box
"with a for (force?) every of". Please translate that for me. I am wondering about friction.
Net force=mass*acceleration
where Net force=pushing force-friction
To find the acceleration of the box, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. The formula for Newton's second law is:
a = F/m
where "a" is the acceleration, "F" is the net force applied, and "m" is the mass of the object.
In this case, the net force applied is 50N and the mass of the box is 20kg. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
a = 50N / 20kg
Now we can simply divide the net force by the mass to obtain the acceleration:
a = 2.5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the box is 2.5 meters per second squared.
