Question

Two forces are applied to a 5. 0-kg crate; one is 6. 0 n to the north and the other is 8. 0 n to the west. The magnitude of the acceleration of the crate is:.

Answer 1

Answer: 2ms—²

Explanation:

let the Resultant force = R

R² = 6² + 8²

R² = 36 + 64

R² = 100

R = √[ 100]

R = 10N.

R = ma......(Newton's second law)

a = R/m

a = 10/5

a = 2ms—¹²
