A 3.7-kg object is acted on by two forces. One of the forces is 11 N acting toward the
east. What is the other force if the acceleration of the object is 1.0 m/s2 toward the east?


Sagot :

Answer:

F₂ = -7.3 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of an object, m₁ = 3.7 kg

First force, F₁ = 11 N

The net acceleration of the object is 1 m/s².

We know that,

F₁+F₂ = ma

11+F₂ = (3.7)(1)

F₂ = 3.7-11

F₂ = -7.3 N

so, the other force is 7.3 N and it is acting in west direction.
