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
