The formula to calculate acceleration is a = F/m, where F is the force and m is the mass of the object.
Given that the force applied by Mrs. Hankinson is 0.5 N and the mass of the book is 500 g (0.5 kg), we can substitute these values into the formula.
a = 0.5 N / 0.5 kg = 1 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the book is 1 m/s^2.
If Mrs. Hankinson slides a 500 g book with 0.5 N of force, what is the acceleration of the book?
F = ma
a
250 m/s2
b
1000 m/s2
c
500 m/s2
