A boy pushes a stationary box of mass 20 kg with a force of 50 N.
Calculate the acceleration of the box. (Assume that there is no friction.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Since there is no friction, the only force acting on the box is the applied force

We can now use the equation Fnet = ma

and we can rearrange for a

a = Fnet/m

now input the values

a = 50N/20kg

a = 2.5 m/s^2
