volume_muteThree newtons are exerted northward on a 10-kg object while 4 newtons are exerted southward. What is the acceleration of the object?
- Acceleration = m/s2
- Direction =
Correct Answer
(1) 0.1
(2) southward
Explanation
0.1 m/s2 southward (Solution: The resultant of the forces is 1 newton southward. Using F = ma, the acceleration a is 0.1 m/s2)
