A 50-kg child on a skateboard experiences a 75-N force. What is the expected acceleration of the child?

Question

rkprinku123 · Answer

The system of interest for calculating the child's acceleration includes both the child and the wagon. The acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion by considering the net force and the mass of the system. In this case, the expected acceleration is -0.54 m/s² in the opposite direction of motion. ;

The acceleration of the child on the skateboard can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion. Given a force of 75 N and a mass of 50 kg, the acceleration is found to be 1.5 m/s². This means the child will accelerate at a rate of 1.5 meters per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
