Answer :

Answer:

a = 0.45 m/s²

Explanation:

The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".

Given that,

Force, F = 40 N

Mass of the body, m = 88 kg

The net force acting on the body is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the body

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{40\ N}{88\ kg}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².
