Question

A 4.50 N net force is applied to a 31.0 kg object. What is the

object's acceleration?
a] 0.145 m/s2
b] 1 m/s2
c] 10 m/s2
d] 9.8 m/s2

Answer 1

The object's acceleration is 0.145 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the object's acceleration, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. In this case, the net force is 4.50 N and the mass of the object is 31.0 kg. So, we can calculate the acceleration using the formula: Acceleration = Net Force / Mass Substituting the values, we get: Acceleration = 4.50 N / 31.0 kg = 0.145 m/s² Therefore, the object's acceleration is 0.145 m/s² (Option a).
