A toddler uses 3 N of force to lift a 1.5 kg wooden block off the floor. What is the acceleration of the wooden block?
2 m/s²
4.5 m/s²
-1.5 m/s²
1.5 m/s²
To find the acceleration of the wooden block, we can use Newton's second law of motion: F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Given:
Force (F) = 3 N
Mass (m) = 1.5 kg
Plugging in the values:
3 N = 1.5 kg * a
Now, solve for acceleration (a):
a = 3 N / 1.5 kg
a = 2 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the wooden block is 2 m/s².
