Lillian pulls on a 10-kg wagon with a constant force of 30 N.What is the wagon's acceleration? A)0.3 m/s² B)3.0 m/s² C)10 m/s² D)30 m/s² E)300 m/s²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, $F = ma$, where $F$ is the force applied, $m$ is the mass of the object, and $a$ is the acceleration. Rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration gives $a = \frac{F}{m}$. Substituting the given values, $a = \frac{30\,N}{10\,kg} = 3.0\,m/s^2$.
