a 25 mewton force pushes against a 5 kg. mass. what is the acceleration???
what formula do i use??
F=ma
To find the acceleration, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. The formula is:
F = ma
In this case, the force (F) is given as 25 N (Newton) and the mass (m) is given as 5 kg. You need to find the acceleration (a).
Rearranging the formula, we have:
a = F/m
Substituting the given values, we get:
a = 25 N / 5 kg
Now, we can divide 25 N by 5 kg to find the result:
a = 5 N/kg
Therefore, the acceleration is 5 N/kg.
