A 12kg object is pushed with a horizontal force of 6N due east across a horizontal table. If the force of friction between the two surfaces is 2N, what is the acceleration of the object?

Respuesta :

The acceleration of the body is obtained as 0.33 m/s^2.

What is the acceleration of the body?

Now we know that the object is acted upon by a system of forces. The net force is the effective force that acts on the body.

Hence;

ma = F -Ff

The applied force is F while the frictional force is Ff. The net force is represented as ma

Thus;

12 * a = 6 - 2

a = 4/12

a = 0.33 m/s^2
