To analyze the scenario where a lawn chair weighing 4 kg is acted upon by a force of 8 N, we can apply Newton's second law of motion, which states:
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the net force applied,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object,
- \( a \) is the acceleration of the object.
Given:
- Mass \( m = 4 \) kg
- Force \( F = 8 \) N
Calculation:
To find the acceleration \( a \) of the lawn chair, we can rearrange the equation:
\[ a = \frac{F}{m} \]
Now substituting the known values:
\[ a = \frac{8 , \text{N}}{4 , \text{kg}} = 2 , \text{m/s}^2 \]
Conclusion:
The acceleration of the lawn chair due to the wind blowing with a force of 8 N is \( 2 , \text{m/s}^2 \).
