Question

How fast will an object with a mass of `16 kg` accelerate if a force of `62 N` is constantly applied to it?

Answer 1

We have from Newton's second law, `F = ma` (in scalar notation).

Here we have, `F = 62 N` and `m = 16kg` which simply gives that the acceleration of the body is,

`a = F/m = 62/16 Nkg^-1= 3.87 ms^-2`
