The following four forces act on 4.00 kg object:
F1 = 300 N east
F2 = 700 N north
F3 = 500 N west
F4 = 600 N south
What is the acceleration of the object?

Well, it seems like this object is having quite the tug-of-war! With forces pushing and pulling from all different directions, it's a wonder this poor 4.00 kg object can keep up!
To calculate the net force, we need to add up all the individual forces. But first, let's assign some directions to make things a little easier. We can say east is positive, west is negative, north is positive, and south is negative.
So, the net force in the east-west direction is F1 - F3 = 300 N - 500 N = -200 N (negative because we're heading west).
And the net force in the north-south direction is F2 - F4 = 700 N - 600 N = 100 N (positive because we're heading north).
To find the total net force, we can use the Pythagorean theorem: F_net = sqrt((net force in east-west direction)^2 + (net force in north-south direction)^2).
F_net = sqrt((-200 N)^2 + (100 N)^2) = sqrt(40000 N^2 + 10000 N^2) = sqrt(50000 N^2) = 223.6 N.
Now, we can use Newton's second law of motion, F = ma, where F is the net force and m is the mass of the object, to solve for the acceleration. Rearranging the equation, we have a = F_net/m.
a = 223.6 N / 4.00 kg ≈ 55.9 m/s^2.
So, the poor 4.00 kg object is accelerating at approximately 55.9 meters per second squared. Hang in there, little buddy!
To find the acceleration of the object, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by its mass.
First, let's find the net force acting on the object by adding up all the forces:
F_net = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4
F_net = (300 N east) + (700 N north) + (500 N west) + (600 N south)
Since east and west forces cancel each other out and north and south forces cancel each other out, we are left with:
F_net = 700 N north - 500 N south
F_net = 200 N north
Now that we have the net force, we can calculate the acceleration:
Acceleration (a) = F_net / mass
Substituting the values, we get:
a = 200 N north / 4.00 kg
Calculating this, we find:
a = 50 m/s^2 north
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 50 m/s^2 north.
