Answer:
0.5 m/s²
Explanation:
Applying,
F = ma............... Equation 1
Where F = Force applied to the chair, m = mass of the student, a = acceleration of the chair
make a the subject of the equation
a = F/m............ Equation 2
From the question,
Given: F = 35 N, m = 70 kg
Substitute these values into equation 2
a = 35/70
a = 0.5 m/s²
Hence the new acceleration of the chair is 0.5 m/s²
