Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A 10 kg block is pushed with a force of 50 N. What is its acceleration? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the mass of the block, which is 10 kg.
  • Step 2: Identify the force applied to the block, which is 50 N.
  • Step 3: Recall Newton's second law, which states that Force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a), or F = ma.
  • Step 4: Rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration (a): a = F/m.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: a = 50 N / 10 kg.
  • Step 6: Calculate the acceleration: 50 N divided by 10 kg equals 5 m/s².
  • Newton's Second Law – This law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).
