a 5.0 kilogram block weighing 49 newtons sits on a frictionless, horizontal surface, a horizontal force of 20. calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the block

4m/s^2

F=ma

F=20N, m=5kg
Solve for a=acceleration in m/s².

Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a physics problem! Let's get ready to rumble.

To calculate the magnitude of the acceleration, we can use Newton's second law: F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

In this case, the force applied is 20 N and the mass of the block is 5.0 kg. So, plugging in our values, we have:

20 N = 5.0 kg * a

Now, we just need to solve for a.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5.0 kg, we find:

a = 4.0 m/s^2

So, the magnitude of the acceleration is 4.0 m/s^2. Easy peasy, right? Keep those physics problems coming!

To calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the block, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force applied to an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m * a).

Here, the mass of the block is 5.0 kilograms and the applied force is 20 newtons.

We can rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration:
a = F / m

Plugging in the values, we have:
a = 20 N / 5.0 kg

Calculating the division, we have:
a = 4.0 m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the block is 4.0 m/s^2.

To calculate the magnitude of acceleration, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration:

F = m * a

Where:
F is the force acting on the object
m is the mass of the object
a is the acceleration of the object

In this case, we know that the mass of the block (m) is 5.0 kilograms and the force (F) acting on the block is 20 newtons. We can rearrange the equation to solve for acceleration:

a = F / m

Plugging in the values, we get:

a = 20 N / 5.0 kg

Simplifying the equation gives:

a = 4.0 m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the block is 4.0 m/s^2.
