The acceleration of an object can be calculated using Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force applied to it divided by its mass.
In this case, the net force applied to the block is 220 N to the right. The mass of the block is 55 kg. Therefore, the acceleration can be calculated as follows:
acceleration = net force / mass
acceleration = 220 N / 55 kg
acceleration = 4.0 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the block will be 4.0 m/s^2.
c
4.0 m/s2
