Alex pushes on a 2.0 kg book, resulting in a net force of 6.0 N on the book. What is the acceleration of the book?
A 3.0m/s
B 12m/s
C 24m/s
D 1.5m/s

Respuesta :

the answer is D. 3.0 m/s
force is mass × acceleration due to gravity
force = 6.0 N
mass = 2.0 kg
acceleration = ?
f = m×a 
6 = 2×a
a = 6÷3
a = 3.0 m/s

Answer:

The acceleration of the book [tex]a=3\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the book, m = 2 kg

Force acting on the book, F = 6 N

We need to find the acceleration of the book. It can be calculated using second law of motion. Force is the product of the mass of an object and its acceleration.

F = ma

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{6\ N}{2\ kg}[/tex]

[tex]a=3\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration of the book is [tex]a=3\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
