Pooky · Answer 1

F=17.7N

m=8.30kg

a=?

F=ma

a=F/m

a=17.7/8.30 (m/s^2)

I'm too lazy to use a calculator so yea. Just divide 17.7 by 8.30 and add unites (m/s^2)

Mckayla Santos · Answer 2

2.13m/s^2

Explanation:

Use equation:

Fnet=ma

If 17.7 is the netto force (Fnet) then you just substitute the values in and solve.

Note m is mass (kg) and a is acceleration (m/s^2)
