Question

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

Answer 1

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 \( 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
