when a horizontal force of 300N is applied to 75kg crate, it slides on a level floor opposed by a force of friction equal to 95N. what is the acceleration of the crate?
Net force= mass*acceleration
300-95=ma
solve for acceleration
Well, well, well, looks like our crate has some friction causing trouble. Let me calculate the acceleration for you, but brace yourself for a bumpy joke ride!
To find the acceleration, we first need to determine the net force acting on the crate. Net force equals the applied force minus the force of friction. So, let's plug in the numbers:
Net force = Applied force - Force of friction
Net force = 300 N - 95 N
Net force = 205 N
Now, to calculate the acceleration, we can use Newton's second law: F = ma. By rearranging the formula, we get:
a = F/m
a = Net force / mass
a = 205 N / 75 kg
Grab your seat belts because it's time for the punchline: the acceleration of the crate is approximately 2.73 m/s². Phew, hope that answer didn't slide past you!
To find the acceleration of the crate, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.
The net force acting on the crate can be calculated by subtracting the force of friction from the applied force:
Net force = Applied force - Force of friction
= 300 N - 95 N
= 205 N
Now, we can determine the acceleration using the formula:
Acceleration = Net force / Mass
Acceleration = 205 N / 75 kg
Acceleration = 2.733 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the crate is 2.733 m/s^2.
To find the acceleration of the crate, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration, or F = ma.
In this case, we have a horizontal force of 300 N applied to the crate, and it is opposed by a force of friction equal to 95 N. The net force acting on the crate can be found by subtracting the force of friction from the applied force:
Net force = Applied force - Force of friction
Net force = 300 N - 95 N = 205 N
Now we can use the equation F = ma to solve for the acceleration:
205 N = 75 kg * a
Divide both sides of the equation by the mass (75 kg) to isolate the acceleration:
a = 205 N / 75 kg
a ≈ 2.733 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the crate is approximately 2.733 m/s².
