A force of 410 N is applied to an 80 kg object. If the object experiences a frictional force of 290 N, what is its acceleration?
Options
A
1.5 m/s²
B
5.5 m/s²
C
5.13 m/s²
D
8.75 m/s²
Answer & Analysis
Answer
A
Analysis
To determine the acceleration of the
object, we first need to calculate the net force acting on it by subtracting
the frictional force from the applied force. Then, we can use Newton's Second
Law to find the acceleration.
Given:
Applied force
Frictional force
Mass of the object
Step 1: Calculate the Net Force
The net force () is calculated as
