Question

What is the acceleration of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 500 newtons?

Solution

Sure, to find the acceleration of the object, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by its mass. The formula is:

a = F/m

where: a is the acceleration, F is the force, and m is the mass of the object.

Given in the problem: F = 500 newtons, m = 50 kg,

Substitute these values into the formula:

a = 500 N / 50 kg = 10 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the object is 10 meters per second squared.
