If the force exerted on a sled is 100 N and the mass of the sled is 50 kg, what is the acceleration of the sled?

Answer;

acceleration = 2 m/s²

Explanation;

From the second Newton's Law of motion the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.

That is;

F = ma

Thus; F = 100 N, m = 50 kg

a = F/m

= 100/50

= 2 m/s²
