Formust be expressed in m/sLaw calculations, mass must be expressed in kg and velocity.A steady 45 N horizontal force is applied to a 15kg object on a table. The object slides against a friction force of 30 N. Calculate the acceleration of the object in m/s.

Respuesta :

Given:

The mass of the object is

[tex]m=15\text{ kg}[/tex]

The applied force on the object is

[tex]F=45\text{ N}[/tex]

The frictional force on the object is

[tex]f=30\text{ N}[/tex]

To find:

The acceleration of the object

Explanation:

The net force on the object is

[tex]\begin{gathered} F_{net}=F-f \\ =45-30 \\ =15\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The acceleration of the object is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{F_{net}}{m} \\ =\frac{15}{15} \\ =1\text{ m/s}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the acceleration is

[tex]1\text{ m/s}^2[/tex]
