Question

A 75 Kg skateboarder is riding downhill, exerting 25 N. What is their acceleration?

Answer 1

The answer is 0.33 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

`a = (f)/(m) \\`

where

m is the mass

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question

f = 25 N

m = 75 kg

We have

`a = (25)/(75) = (1)/(3) \\ = 0.333333333...`

We have the final answer as

0.33 m/s²

Hope this helps you
