how to solve this question

Question

Suppose that the net external force (push minus friction) exerted on a Ventilator is 15N parallel to the floor. The mass of the ventilator is 10kg. What is the acceleration the nurse is pushing on the ventilator?

Answer 1

The problem you stated is F=ma where F = 15 Newtons & m = 10 kg

So,

acceleration (a) = 15 N/10 kg = 1.5 m/sec²
