A force of 100 N to the east and a force or 100 N to the west both act on an object of 10 kg. What is the acceleration of the object?

A. 10 m/s2 to the east

B. 100 m/s2 to the west

C. 0 m/s2, it does not accelerate

D. 100 m/s2 to the east


Sagot :

Answer:

C, it doesnt accelerate

Explanation:

F=ma

F = 100 east + 100 west

F = 100 east + (-100 east)

F = 0

0 = ma

in order to isolate acceleration, we would be dividing 0 by mass, which would equal 0
