Question

Abody of mass 12kg at rest on smooth surface is affected by a force 48 n what is the acceleration of the body?​

Answer 1

• Acceleration of the body will be 4 m/s²

Explanation :

We have ,

• Force = 48 N
• Mass = 12 kg
• Acceleration = ?

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

On putting the values in above formula we will get :

=> 48 = 12 × a

=> a = 48/12

=> a = 4 m/s²

Therefore,

• The acceleration of the body will be 4 m/s²
