Maximum acceleration that can act on a 2 5 kg mass under the action of a 16N and a 4N - Science - Force and Laws of Motion

Question

Maximum acceleration that can act on a 2 5 kg mass under the action
of a 16N and a 4N force is _____ How?

Ankur · Accepted Answer

When, forces of 16 N and 4 N acts in same direction, then net force
on the mass will be equal to sum of the two forces = 20 N and
hence, acceleration of the mass would be maximum, which is given by
:
F = m a
hence, a = F/m = 20/2 5 = 8 m/s2

Maximum acceleration that can act on a 2.5 kg mass under the action of a 16N and a 4N force is _____. How?
