An object that weighs 75 N is pulled horizontally to the right with a force of 50 N. The force of friction on this object is 30 N to the left. What is the acceleration of the object?
The force on the object is 50 N to the right and 30 N to the left.
⇒ The net force on the object is, =50−30=20 N to the right.
The weight of the object is, =75 N.
⇒ The mass of the object is ==759.8 kg.
⇒ The acceleration of the object is ==20759.8=2.613 m/s 2.
