A pushcart has a mass of 12 kg. If it is pushed on the floor with a force of 48 N, what will be its acceleration?​

Sagot :

[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]

The force acting on an object is given by

[tex]\boxed{F = ma}[/tex]

where:

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for a

F = ma

[tex]\dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{ma}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{F}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{\text{48 N}}{\text{12 kg}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{a = \text{4 m/}\text{s}^{2}}[/tex]

Therefore, the acceleration of the pushcart is 4 m/s².
