A force of 24 N acts on a body of mass 6 kg. What acceleration does it produce?
A144 m s⁻²
B4 m s⁻²
C30 m s⁻²
D0.25 m s⁻²
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 4 m s⁻²
1. From Newton's second law, F = ma, so a = F / m.
2. Substitute: a = 24 / 6.
3. a = 4 m s⁻².
4. Rule out 0.25 m s⁻²: that wrongly computes m / F instead of F / m.
