Explanation:
A 4kg mass is under the action of a resultant force of (a) 4 N (b) 8N and (c) 12 N What are the resulting accelerations?
Given that,
Mass, m = 4 kg
(a) Force = 4 N
We know that,
Force, F = ma
Where
a is accelertaion,
a= F/m
a = 4/4 = 1 m/s²
(b) F = 8 N
a= F/m
a = 8/4 = 2 m/s²
(c) F = 12 N
a = 12/4 = 3 m/s²
Hence, this is the required solution.
