Question

a 24 N force is being applied to the right, while a 345 N force is being applied to the left of a 18 kg crate.
What is the acceleration of the crate?

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 17.83 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Fnet = 345N - 24N

m = 18kg

Unknown:

a or Acceleration of the crate

Formula and solution:

Fnet = F1 + F2

Fnet = 345N - 24N

Fnet = 321N

a = Fnet/m

a = 321 kg m/s² ÷ 18 kg

Final Answer:

a = 17.83 m/s²
