What is the acceleration of a box weighing 596 N if a force of 777 N is applied to it?


Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]12.79 m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

1. Apply Newton's 2nd law:

[tex]F=ma[/tex]

2. Use the definition of weight to find the mass of the box:

[tex]W=mg=m=\frac{W}{g}[/tex]

3. Solve for acceleration in Newton's 2nd law and substitute for mass:

[tex]a=\frac{F}{\frac{W}{g} }[/tex]

4. Plug in the given values from the question and assume [tex]g=9.81m/s^2[/tex]:

[tex]a=\frac{777N}{\frac{596N}{9.81m/s^2} } } =12.79m/s^2[/tex]
