Question

A wooden block is pulled at a constant acceleration of 1.4 m/s2. Find the net applied force on the block if its mass is 0.6 kg.

Answer 1

F = 0.84 [N]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must take into account Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of all forces applied on a body must be equal to the product of the mass of the body by its acceleration.

F = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

a = acceleration = 1.4[m/s^2]

m = mass = 0.6 [kg]

F = 0.6*1.4

F = 0.84 [N]
