a 45N force is applied to a 9.6 kg object, what is the acceleration.
surely you remember the first formula ever taught in physics:
F = ma
just plug in your numbers.
To determine the acceleration of an object, we can use Newton's second law of motion. According to this law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.
We have been given:
Force (F) = 45 N
Mass (m) = 9.6 kg
Using the formula:
F = m * a
where F represents the force, m represents the mass, and a represents the acceleration, we can rearrange the formula to find the acceleration:
a = F / m
Substituting the given values:
a = 45 N / 9.6 kg
Evaluating this expression:
a ≈ 4.688 m/s² (rounded to three decimal places)
The acceleration of the object is approximately 4.688 m/s².
