A Net Force of 125 N accelerates a 25.0 kg mass. What is the resulting acceleration?

0.200 m/s^2
0.400 m/s^2
2.50 m/s^2
5.00 m/s^2
100. m/s^2
@ganeshie8 plz help me

Hint: Newton's Laws of motion

perl · Answer

did you try the formula:
Net_Force = mass * acceleration

perl · Answer

plug in your given values, and solve for acceleration

anonymous · Answer

You have the net force and the mass of the object, how can you relate this with the hint above?

anonymous · Answer

i got 3125 @perl

anonymous · Answer

Can you please show your steps on how you got that...?

anonymous · Answer

Newton's second law states, $$\sum F = ma$$ you just have to solve for a.

anonymous · Answer

@perl said mss*acceleration and the mass is 25.0 and acceleration is 125

anonymous · Answer

I guess you've ignored everything I've said.

`You have the net force and the mass of the object, how can you relate this with the hint above?`

anonymous · Answer

If you look at your answer, it seems a bit absurd 3125 m/s^2 that's kind of crazy don't you think?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

Ok so we're looking for the `acceleration` and we have the formula $$F = ma$$ now solve for a.

anonymous · Answer

how?

anonymous · Answer

i got 5 m/s^2 @iambatman

anonymous · Answer

There we go!

anonymous · Answer

That makes much more sense to now, right? :)

anonymous · Answer

yep :) thank you
