a 5 kg box is pushed with a force of 20 newton what is the acceleration of the box
Answer (2)
The acceleration is 4 m/s².We need to find the acceleration of the box.We're given that:The mass of the box is 5 kg.The force is 20 N.To find the acceleration, apply the formula:[tex]\sf F=ma[/tex]Rearrange it for a, the acceleration:[tex]\sf a=\cfrac{F}{m}[/tex]Substitute the values:[tex]\sf a=\cfrac{20}{5}[/tex][tex]\sf a=4\:m/s^2[/tex]
Given:m = 5 kgF = 20 NRequired:a = ?Solution:F = maa = F/ma = 20 N / 5 kga = 20 kg•m/s² / 5 kga = 4 m/s²
