a crate with mass 32.5 kg initially at rest on a warehouse floor is acted on by a net horizontal force of 140. N. What acceleration is produced? How far does the crate travel in 10.0 s travel in? what is the speed at the end of 10 sec
To determine the acceleration of the crate using Newton's second law, we need to divide the given net force by the mass of the object.
The formula for Newton's second law is:
F = ma
Where:
F = Net Force (in newtons)
m = Mass (in kilograms)
a = Acceleration (in meters per second squared)
Given:
Net Force (F) = 160 N
Mass (m) = 26.0 kg
Plugging in the values into the formula:
160 N = 26.0 kg * a
Now, we can solve for the acceleration (a) by rearranging the equation:
a = 160 N / 26.0 kg
To evaluate this expression:
a = 6.15 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the crate is 6.15 m/s².
