Answer:
a = 0.13m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of horse trailer = 150kg
Distance covered = 250miles
Force applied on trailer = 20N
Unknown:
Acceleration of trailer = ?
Solution:
According to newton's second law of motion,"the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force on it and inversely proportional to the mass" .
Mathematically;
F = m x a
where f is the force
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
Input the parameters and solve;
20 = 150 x a
a = 0.13m/s²
