Question

Romeo applies a 300 N force on a 25 kg object. What is the acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

Answer: Force = 300 NewtonsMass = 25 kgAcceleration = Force / Mass = 300 Newtons / 25 kg = 12 metres / second^2.

Answer 2

Second law of Newton

Romeo applies a 300 N force on a 25 kg object. What is the acceleration of the object?

Data:

• m = 25kg

• F = 300N

Newton's second law formula

F = m * a

We clear for acceleration

`\boldsymbol{\sf{(F)/(m)=\frac{\\ot{m}*a}{\\ot{m}} \iff \ (F)/(m)=a \longmapsto \ a=(F)/(a) }}`

`\boldsymbol{\sf{a=(300 \ N)/(25 \ kg) }}`

We know very well that to find the acceleration, we decompose N= Kg*m/s^2.

`\boldsymbol{\sf{a=\frac{300 \\ot{kg}*(m)/(s^2) }{25 \\ot{kg}} }}`

`\boldsymbol{\sf{a=12 \ (m)/(s^(2)) }}`

The acceleration of the object is 12 m/s^2.
