If we apply a force of 500N to a body of 6.6lb what Is the acceleration consider there Is not friction
Answer
f = m*a
f = 500 N
m = 6.6 lbs. Convert to kg
substitute and solve for a.
To determine the acceleration of an 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 applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.
First, we need to convert the weight of the body from pounds (lb) to the standard unit of mass, which is kilograms (kg). We can use the conversion factor that 1 lb is equal to 0.45359237 kg.
Given:
Force (F) = 500 N
Weight = 6.6 lb ≈ 2.99 kg (after conversion)
Now, we can use Newton's second law to find the acceleration. The formula is:
F = m * a
Where:
F = force applied to the body
m = mass of the body
a = acceleration of the body
Rearranging the equation to solve for acceleration:
a = F / m
Plugging in the values:
a = 500 N / 2.99 kg
Calculating the result, we find that the acceleration is approximately 167.2 m/s^2.
