Question

A worker applies a constant horizontal force with magnitude 20 N to a box with mass 40 kg resting on a level floor with negligible friction. What is the acceleration of the box?
Options
A 0.08 m/s²
B 0.20 m/s²
C 800 m/s²
D 0.50 m/s²
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Using Newton's second law, F = ma. Therefore, a = F/m = 20 N / 40 kg = 0.5 m/s².

Hint

Apply Newton's second law: acceleration = net force / mass.
