Text Solution

Solution : Force = F = 15 N <br> Mass = m = 2kg <br> From Newton.s second law of motion <br> F = ma (where a = acceleration) <br> Or, a = P/m <br> Or, a = 15/2 <br> `therefore a=7.5 "ms"^(-2)`

A force of 15 N acts on a body of mass 2 kg. Calculate the acceleration produced.

Force, F = 15 N

Mass, m = 2kg

Acceleration, a = F/m [ From Newton's second law]

Or, a = (15/2) ms-2

Or, a = 7.5 ms-2
