Answer:
Acceleration of the object [tex]=12.2\ ms^{-2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Mass of the block being pulled = 5 kg
Force applied to pull = 61 N
We know by Newton's 2nd law that:
[tex]Force=Mass\times Acceleration[/tex]
Rearranging the formula to find acceleration.
[tex]Acceleration=\frac{Force}{Mass}[/tex]
∴ Acceleration of the block = [tex]\frac{Force}{Mass}=\frac{61\ N}{5\ kg}= 12.2\ ms^{-2}[/tex]
