Question

A 10 N force pulls to the right and friction opposes 2 N. If the

object is 20 kg, find the acceleration.

Answer 1

0.4 m/s^2 = a

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fn (or net force) is represented by 10 - 2, since friction opposes 2 out of the 10 N. The formula to find acceleration is Fn = (m)(a).

8 N = (20 kg)(a)

8/20 = .4
