Question 1 Report

A net force of magnitude 0.6N acts on a body of mass 40g, initially at rest. Calculate the magnitude of tire resulting acceleration.
Answer Details
The magnitude of the resulting acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, this can be represented as: a = F/m where a is the acceleration of the object, F is the net force acting on the object, and m is the mass of the object. Substituting the given values, we get: a = 0.6N / 0.04kg a = 15 ms^-2 Therefore, the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is 15ms^-2. The correct answer is: 15ms-2.
