A 2.2 kg object is sliding across a smooth surface. If the net force acting on the object is 1.6 N to the right, what is the acceleration of the object?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration of a 2.2 kg object sliding across a smooth surface with a net force of 1.6 N to the right acting on it is 0.73 m/s² to the right. Solution Use Newton's Second Law ? F = ma Where ? F = net force = 1.6 N to the right m = mass = 2.2 kg a = acceleration ? F = ma, so a = ? F/m a = 1.6 N / 2.2 kg 1 N = 1 kgm/s², so a = (1.6 kg m/s²)/2.2 kg = 0.73 m/s²
