The acceleration of an object is given by the formula F = ma, where F is the force applied to the object and m is the mass of the object. In this case, the force applied is 220 N and the mass is 55 kg.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
220 N = 55 kg * a
To find the acceleration, we can divide both sides of the equation by 55 kg:
220 N / 55 kg = a
Simplifying the equation, we get:
4 m/s² = a
Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4.0 m/s².
The correct answer is b) 4.0 m/s².
A block with a mass of 55 kg is pulled with a force of 220 N to the right. Assuming a frictionless surface, what will be the acceleration of the block?
a
9.8 m/s2
b
4.0 m/s2
c
22 m/s2
d
0.25 m/s2
