Question

How fast will an object with a mass of `15 kg` accelerate if a force of `30 N` is constantly applied to it?

Answer 1

The acceleration will be `a=2 m/s^2`

Explanation:

According to Newton's Second Law the acceleration is equal to force divided by mass:

`a=F/m`

So in the given task the acceleration equals:

`a=30/15=2`

`[a]=[N/(kg)]=[(kg*m/s^2)/(kg)]=[m/s^2]`
