Question

If a force of 200 N is applied on a body of mass 5 kg, what will be the acceleration of the body?

• A. 40 ms^-2
• B. 20 ms^-2
• C. 30 ms^-2
• D. 10 ms^-2

Answer 1

The correct option is A

40 ms^-2

Here m = 5 kg; F = 200 N

F = ma or a = $\frac{F}{m}$

a = 40 ${ms}^{-2}$

a = 40 ${ms}^{-2}$
