With what acceleration does a bus with a mass of 15 move, if a force of 3 kN acts on it?

Problem data: m (mass of a given bus) = 15 t (in SI m = 15 * 10 ^ 3 kg); F (acting force) = 3 kN (3 * 10 ^ 3 N).

The acceleration with which a given bus must move is determined by the formula: a = F / m.

Let’s perform the calculation: a = 3 * 10 ^ 3 / (15 * 10 ^ 3) = 0.2 m / s2.

Answer: The target bus travels with an acceleration of 0.2 m / s2.
