How fast will an object with a mass of #4 kg# accelerate if a force of #7 N# is constantly applied to it?

Answer 1

Charles Aeschliman

Information: Mass: m = 4 kg; Force: F = 7 N; Acceleration: a =?

Sol:-

We are aware of:

#F=ma# #implies a=F/m=7/4=1.75m/s^2#

#implies a=1.75m/s^2#

Axel Acevedo

To find the acceleration, you can use Newton's second law, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). Rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration (a), you get a = F / m. Plugging in the values, you get a = 7 N / 4 kg = 1.75 m/s². So, the object will accelerate at a rate of 1.75 meters per second squared.

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.
