An object with a mass of 4.8 kg has a force of 8.6 newtons north applied to it. What is the resulting acceleration of the object?

acceleration of object = 1.792

Explanation:

Given

mass, m = 4.8 kg

Force, F = 8.6 N = 8.6 kg

acceleration, a = ?

We know that the newton's second law of motion gives the relation between mass and force required to accelerate it which is expressed in the form of equation as:

F = ma

Acceleration a = F/m

                         = 8.6 kg / 4.8 kg

                         = 1.792
