A net force acting on a 5.0 kg box produces an acceleration of 4.2 m/s2. What acceleration, to the nearest tenth of a m/s2, will the same net force cause on a 2.8 kg box

Respuesta :

The acceleration that the net force will cause is 7.5 m/s²

To solve this problem, first, we need to find the net force.

⇒ Equation:

F = ma................ Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • m = mass of the box
  • a = acceleration of the box

From the question,

⇒ Given;

  • m = 5.0 kg
  • a = 4.2 m/s²

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • F = 5×4.2
  • F = 21 N

We also use the same equation 1 to find the acceleration that the net force will cause to a box of mass 2.8 kg.

⇒ make a the subject in equation 1

  • a = F/m................. Equation 2

⇒ Substitute the appropriate values into equation 2

  • a = 21/2.8
  • a = 7.5 m/s²

Hence, The acceleration that the net force will cause is 7.5 m/s²
