Answer:
Acceleration = 2 m/s²
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 15 tons to kilograms = 15 * 1000 = 15000 kilograms
Force = 3 * 10⁴ Newton
To find the magnitude of acceleration;
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
[tex] Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass} [/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Acceleration = \frac {30000}{15000} [/tex]
Acceleration = 2 m/s²
