Answer : The acceleration of an object is [tex]2.62\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation :
Given that,
Mass of an object, m = 42.6 kg
Applied unbalanced force, F = 112 N
Newton's second law gives the relation between the applied force and the acceleration produced by it. Mathematically, it can be written as :
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{112\ N}{42.6\ kg}[/tex]
[tex]a=2.62\ m/s^2[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
