A battery-powered lawn mower has a mass of 48.0 kg. If the net external force on
the lawn mower, including both your push and any resistance, is 40.5 N, then what
is the mower's acceleration?

Respuesta :

F= mass*acceleration
_40.5=48.0*a
a=40.5/48.0
a=0.84m/s

The lawnmower's acceleration is 0.844 meters/sec².

Given to us:

Mass of the lawnmower, m = 48.0 kgs. ,

Net external force, F = 40.5 N,

As we know, a force can change the motion of an object. A force causes an object with mass to change its velocity.

Therefore, when we calculate force, we take force as a net force.

[tex]\bold{ Force= Mass\times (change\ in\ velocity)=Mass\times acceleration}[/tex]

[tex]F = m\times a\\40.5 = 48 \times a\\\\a= \dfrac{40.5}{48} \\\\a= 0.844\ m/sec^2[/tex]

Hence,  the lawnmower's acceleration is 0.844 meters/sec².
