How fast will an object with a mass of #24 kg# accelerate if a force # 33 N# is constantly applied to it?

Answer 1

You have to apply Newton's Second Law in order to solve this problem.

According to Newton's Second Law, an object's acceleration is directly related to the force applied to it:

#F prop a#

The two magnitudes are proportionate, meaning that the body will accelerate twice as much if we apply a force that is twice as strong as another.

The inertial mass, also known as the proportionality constant, is equal to the gravitational mass (also known as the common mass, which is the amount of matter in a body).

Thus:

#F = m cdot a#

To determine the acceleration, we can:

#a = F / m = {33 " N"} / {24 " kg"} = 1,375 " m/s"^2#

The acceleration of the object can be calculated using Newton's second law: (a = F/m). In this case, the acceleration would be (1.375 , \text{m/s}^2).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
