Answer:
2.5m/s²
Force = mass x acceleration
Explanation:
Given parameters
Mass = 200kg
Force = 500N
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
According to the Newton's second law of motion "the constant force applied on a massive body causes it to accelerate".
Mathematically;
Force = mass x acceleration
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Acceleration = [tex]\frac{force}{mass}[/tex]
Acceleration = [tex]\frac{500}{200}[/tex] = 2.5m/s²
