A constant force of 800n acts on an object of mass 40kg what is the acceleration placed on the object
F = rate of change of momentum = m a
if the mass is constant
so
a = F/m
To find the acceleration placed on the object, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. The equation for this is:
acceleration = net force / mass
Given:
Net Force (F) = 800 N
Mass (m) = 40 kg
Using the equation, we can calculate the acceleration:
acceleration = 800 N / 40 kg
acceleration = 20 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration placed on the object is 20 m/s^2.
