A force of 200 N is exerted on an object of mass 40 kg. What is the

acceleration?

The acceleration is 5 m/s2.

Explanation:

We calculate the acceleration, with the data of mass and force, through the formula:

F = m x a - --> a = F/m

a = 200 N/40 kg 1N = 1 kg x m/s2

a = 200 kg x m/s2 / 40 kg

a = 5 m/s2
