Newton's Second Law
Newton's Second Law of Motion states: Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
1. Identify the knowns:
* Force (F) = 30 N
* Mass (m) = 10 kg
2. Rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration:
* Acceleration (a) = Force (F) / Mass (m)
3. Plug in the values and calculate:
* a = 30 N / 10 kg
* a = 3 m/s²
Answer: The acceleration of the wagon is 3 meters per second squared (m/s²).
