Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0N, the second child exerts a force of 90.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the most of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kga)what is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

75 N and 90 N are acting in opposite direction so net force = 90 - 75 = 15 N .

Friction force will act in the direction opposite to the direction of net force .

So friction force will act in the direction in which 75 N is acting .

Total force acting in the direction of 75 =  75 + 12 = 87 N

Net force acing on the third child = 90 - 87 = 3 N  

Its direction will be that in the direction of 90 N .
