A250kg man is sliding down a snowy hill. he experience a net force of 625 newton’s pulling down the hill. what is the acceleration?

Answer. The correct answer is

Explanation

In this problem, we are given that the mass of the man is 250kg and the net force on the man is 625N. To find the acceleration, we have to use Newton's second law of motion. Newton's second law of motion states that ,where is the net force on the object, is the mass of the object and is the acceleration  of the object. In simple terms, the law states that the force on an object is directly  proportional to the mass.

To figure out the acceleration of a man sliding down the hill, we have to solve for the acceleration in Newton's second law. This operation is done as shown below,
