Question

Numerical numbers calculate the acceleration of a body of 250g when acted by a force of 1newton?

Answer 1

`4 \ "m/s"^2`

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law of motion here, which states that

`F=ma`

where `m` is the mass of the body in kilograms, `a` is the acceleration of the body in `"m/s"^2`.

Since we need to solve for acceleration, we might as well rearrange the equation into

`a=F/m`

Plugging in the values, we get

`a=(1 \ "N")/(0.25 \ "kg")`

`a=4 \ "m/s"^2`

So, the body will accelerate at `4 \ "m/s"^2` toward the direction of the force applied.
