3 students push on a 60kg Box, they each exert a 25 N force. What is the box’s acceleration if they all push in the same direction

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Given the following data;

Force applied = 25 N

Mass = 60kg

The net force acting on the box = 25 + 25 + 25 = 75N

To find the acceleration;

Net force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

75 = 60 * acceleration

Acceleration = 75/60

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s²
