A small child has a wagon with a mass of 10 kilograms. The child pulls on the wagon with a force of 2 Newtons. What is the acceleration of the wagon?
We know that Force (F) is equal to mass (m) times the acceleration (a)
Mathematically,
F=m.a
Here:
m=10 and F=2
by solving for a we get a = 0.2 meters per second squared.
