Shown below is a 10.0 kg block being pushed by a horizontal force F of magnitude 207.0 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two surfaces is 0.60. Find the acceleration of the block. (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.)

Respuesta :

The acceleration of the block on the horizontal plane in m/s² is 14.82m/s²

  • The product of mass and acceleration is known as Force.

  • Force is defined as a push or pull that triggers a body to move from its initial position.

According to Newton's law of motion;

[tex]\sum F_x=ma_x[/tex]

This can further be expressed as:

[tex]F_m - F_f=ma_x\\F_m -\mu R = ma_x\\F_m -\mu mg = ma_x\\207-0.6\times10(9.8)=10a_x\\207 -58.8=10a_x\\148.2=10a_x\\a_x=\frac{148.2}{10}\\a_x=14.82m/s^2[/tex]

Hence the acceleration of the block on the horizontal plane in m/s² is 14.82m/s²
