A resultant force of 25 newtons acts on a mass of 0.50 kilograms starting from rest. Find the acceleration in m/s2 .

The rate change of direction or speed of the object is called acceleration. The acceleration of the given mass is 50 m/s².

Acceleration:

It is the rate change of direction or speed of the object. From the Newton's second law of motion,

Where,

F - force applied = 25 N

m - mass = 0.5 kg

Put the values,

Therefore, the acceleration of the given mass is 50 m/s².

Explanation:

From Newton's Second Law, recall .

Rearranging this equation, we have . is given as and mass given as .

Plugging in these values, we get:
