Question

A force $F$ acts horizontally on a block of mass $m$ that is initially at rest on a smooth horizontal floor. The force acts for a time $t$ and moves the block a displacement $d$.
Find out the acceleration of the block ?

• A. $Ft$
• B. $Fd$
• C. $\frac{F}{m}$
• D. $\frac{m}{F}$
• E. $\frac{d}{t}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{F}{m}$

Net force acting on the block = $F$

Mass of the block = $m$

$\therefore$ Acceleration of the block $a=\frac{F}{m}$
