Taking into account the Newton's second law, the acceleration of the box is 4 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex].
In first place, you have to know that Newton's second law, called the fundamental law or fundamental principle of dynamics, states that a body accelerates if a force is applied to it.
Then, the amount of force necessary is proportional to the acceleration that the body acquires, and the constant of proportionality is the mass of the body.
Mathematically, Newton's second law is:
F= m×a
where:
- F = Force [N]
- m = Mass [kg]
- a = Acceleration [m/s²]
In this case, you know:
Replacing in the Newton's second law:
200 N= 50 kg×a
Solving:
a=200 N÷ 50 kg
a= 4 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]
In summary, the acceleration of the box is 4 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex].
