An Elephant is pulled by a group of clowns across a circus. The elephant has a mass of 1000kg and the clowns are pulling with a force of 200N. What is the acceleration of the elephant? *

Respuesta :

Lanuel

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.2m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 1000kg

Force = 200N

To find acceleration;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

[tex] F = ma[/tex]

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Making acceleration (a) the subject, we have;

[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{F}{m}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation;

[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{200}{1000}[/tex]

Acceleration = 0.2m/s²
