Question

if a net force of 55 n is applied to an object with a mass of 11 kg, then what is its acceleration according to newtons second law of motion? a 55 m/s² b 44 m/s² c 5 m/s² d 11 m/s²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

Newton's second law is \(F = ma\), where \(F\) is the net force, \(m\) is the mass, and \(a\) is the acceleration. We need to solve for \(a\), so we can rewrite the formula as \(a=\frac{F}{m}\).

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(F = 55\space N\) and \(m = 11\space kg\). Substitute these into the formula \(a=\frac{F}{m}\), we get \(a=\frac{55}{11}\).

Step3: Calculate the value of \(a\)

\(\frac{55}{11}=5\).

Answer:

C. \(5\space m/s^{2}\)
