Tom pushes on a 50-kilogram box with a force of 25 newtons. Assuming the surface on which the box moves is frictionless, at what rate does the box accelerate?

Assuming the surface on which the box moves is frictionless, the rate at which the box accelerate is equal to 0.5 [tex]m/s^2[/tex].

Given the following data:

  • Mass of box = 50 kilogram
  • Force = 25 newtons.

To determine the rate at which the box accelerate, assuming the surface on which the box moves is frictionless:

Mathematically, Newton's Second Law of Motion is given by the formula;

[tex]Force = mass \times acceleration[/tex]

Making acceleration the subject of formula, we have:

[tex]Acceleration =\frac{Force}{mass}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]Acceleration = \frac{25}{50}[/tex]

Acceleration = 0.5 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
