A 755 N force is used to push a 15 Kg box across the floor. What is the acceleration of the box?

a = 151/3 m/s²

General Formulas and Concepts:

Forces

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: F = ma

F is force (in N)m is mass (in kg)a is acceleration (in m/s²)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

F = 755 N

m = 15 kg

Step 2: Solve for a

Substitute in variables [Newton's 2nd Law of Motion]:                                 755 N = (15 kg)aIsolate a:                                                                                                            a = 151/3 m/s²
