Question

How fast will an object with a mass of `4 kg` accelerate if a force of `14 N` is constantly applied to it?

Answer 1

`a=(3.5 m)/s^2`

Explanation:

Given:

`F=14N`; where: `N=(kg.m)/s^2`
`m=4kg`

Required:

`a=? m/s^2`

Solution:

From the formula:

`F=ma`; rearrange the formula to find the `a`
`a=F/m`; plug in given data
`a=(14cancel(kg).m/s^2)/(4cancel(kg)`
`a=3.5 m/s^2`

Answer:

`a=3.5 m/s^2`
