Answer to Question #130746 in Math for Joanna

Question

two forces of magnitudes 6.0N and 4.0N act on 3.2 kg body. What is the acceleration produced produced when these forces are oppositely directed

Answer 1

Since forces are oppositely directed, the resultant force is $6N-4N=2N$. So the acceleration of the body is $\frac{2N}{3.2kg}=0.625\frac{kg}{m\cdot sec^2}$

Answer: $0.625\frac{kg}{m\cdot sec^2}$
