A student is helping her teacher move a 9.5 kg box of books. What net sideways force must she exert on the box to slide it across the floor so that is accelerates at 1.0m/s2?

Respuesta :

As we know that mass of the box is given as

m = 9.5 kg

acceleration of the box is given as

[tex]a = 1 m/s^2[/tex]

so by Newton's II law we can say

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

now we can substitute all the values in it

[tex]F = 9.5 \times 1[/tex]

[tex]F = 9.5 N[/tex]

So it required 9.5 N force to slide it
