Respuesta :
Force = mass * acceleration
10 N - 2 N = 20 kg * acceleration
8 N = 20 kg * acceleration
8 / 20 = acceleration
2/5 m/s^2 = acceleration
Answer:
The acceleration is 0.4 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that,
Force = 10 N
Opposing force = 2 N
Mass of object = 20 kg
We need to calculate the acceleration
Using formula of newton's second law
[tex]F = ma[/tex]
Where, F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
Put the value into the formula
[tex]10N-2N = 20\times a[/tex]
[tex]8 N=20\times a[/tex]
[tex]a =\dfrac{8}{20}[/tex]
[tex]a=0.4\ m/s^2[/tex]
Hence, The acceleration is 0.4 m/s²
