The resultant of all forces applied to the body is 50N. body weight is 2.5 kg. with what acceleration does this body move?

Given:

F = 50 Newton – resultant of all forces applied to the body;

m = 2.5 kilograms – body weight.

It is required to determine a (meter per second squared) – the acceleration of the body.

To determine the acceleration of a body, you must use the following formula (Newton’s second law):

F = m * a, from here we find:

a = F / m = 50 / 2.5 = 20 meters per second squared.

Answer: the body was moving with an acceleration equal to 20 meters per second squared.
