Force about, 5 Newton acts on a body weighing 1 kg. Determine the acceleration with which the body is moving.

To determine the acceleration that a given body received under the action of a force, we apply Newton’s second law: F = m * a and a = F / m.

Variables: F – acting force (F = 0.5 N); m – body weight (m = 1 kg).

Calculation: a = F / m = 0.5 / 1 = 0.5 m / s2.

Answer: The given body had to move with an acceleration of 0.5 m / s2.
