What is the acceleration of the 15 kg box that has 500 N of force applied to it?

The magnitude of acceleration of box is  .

Given data:

The mass of box is, m = 15 kg.

The magnitude of applied force is, F = 500 N.

The given problem is based on the Newton's Second law of motion. As per the Newton's Second law, the product of mass of object and the acceleration of object is equal to the magnitude of applied force. Then,

F = ma

500 = 15 (a)

a = 500/15

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of acceleration of box is  .

Heya!!

For calculate aceleration, lets applicate second law of Newton:

                                                 Δ   Being   Δ

                                             F = Force = 500 N

                                              m = Mass = 15 kg

                                             a = Aceleration = ?

⇒ Let's replace according the formula and clear "a":

⇒ Resolving

Result:

The aceleration is 33,33 meters per second squared (m/s²)

Good Luck!!
