Question

Forces of 100N[N] and 80N[W] act simultaneously on an object of mass

1.0kg. What is the acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

The acceleration of the object is
`128.06\ m/s^2`.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Two forces are acting on the object of 100 N in north and 80 N in west.

Mass of the object is 1 kg

It is required to find the acceleration of the object.

The resultant of two forces is given by :

`F=√(100^2+80^2) \\\\F=128.06\ N`

The net force acting on an object is given by the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

a is acceleration

`a=(F)/(m)\\\\a=(128.06)/(1)\\\\a=128.06\ m/s^2`

So, the acceleration of the object is
`128.06\ m/s^2`.
