Question

9. Two different forces (5 N to the right and 7 N to left) are acting on a 5 kg bowling ball. What would the acceleration of the bowling ball be?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4m/s² to the left

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must know that;

     Net force  = mass x acceleration

Net force is the resultant force on a body that will act like a single force;

    Force to left  - force to right  = mass x acceleration

                7  - 5  = 5 x acceleration

                  2  = 5 x acceleration

        Acceleration  = $\frac{2}{5}$   = 0.4m/s² to the left
