A girl pulls on a 10-kg wagon with a constant force of 30 N. What is the wagon's acceleration in meters per second squared?
A)0)3
B)3)0
C)10
D)30
E)300

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law, $F = ma$, where $F$ is the force applied, $m$ is the mass of the object, and $a$ is the acceleration. Rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration gives $a = \frac{F}{m}$. Substituting the given values, $a = \frac{30\,N}{10\,kg} = 3\,m/s^2$.
