What is the acceleration of the object when the Force is 30N and has a mass of 15kg? (a=f/m)

1 answer

To find the acceleration of the object, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:

\[ a = \frac{F}{m} \]

where:

  • \( a \) is the acceleration,
  • \( F \) is the force applied (in Newtons),
  • \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kilograms).

Given:

  • \( F = 30 , \text{N} \)
  • \( m = 15 , \text{kg} \)

Now, plug in the values:

\[ a = \frac{30 , \text{N}}{15 , \text{kg}} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ a = 2 , \text{m/s}^2 \]

So, the acceleration of the object is \( 2 , \text{m/s}^2 \).
