Question

a construction worker pushes a 200 kg wheelbarrow with a net force of 50 n, 1 point causing it to accelerate at 0.25 m/s2. which of newtons laws describes the quantitative relationship between the net force, the wheelbarrows mass, and its resulting acceleration

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (\(F = ma\)). In this problem, we have \(F = 50N\), \(m=200kg\), and \(a = 0.25m/s^{2}\). Substituting the values into the formula \(F=ma\), we get \(200\times0.25=50\), which satisfies the equation. This law specifically quantifies the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration as described in the problem.

Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion.
