An object with a mass of 10.9 kg experiences a force of 18.53 N. What is the acceleration of the object?

A.

2.2 m/s2

B.

1.7 m/s2

C.

16.83 m/s2

D.

1.3 m/s2

Answer: 1.7m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of object = 10.9 kg

force = 18.53

Acceleration of the object = ?

Since force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves.

i. e Force = mass x acceleration

18.53 N = 10.9 kg x acceleration

Acceleration = (18.53 N / 10.9 kg)

Acceleration = 1.7m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the object is 1.7m/s^2
