A loaded coal wagon with a total mass of 20 000 kg is pushed by a force of 300 000 N. What was the wagon’s acceleration?

Pls show work as well

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

[tex]a = \frac{f}{m} \\ [/tex]

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

[tex]a = \frac{300000}{20000} = \frac{30}{2} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

15 m/s²

Hope this helps you
