Question #261182

Two forces act on a 2-kg box. The first force is 10 N to the right, while the second force if 5 N to left. Determine the resultant acceleration.

Expert's answer

The resultant force is

"F_\\text{net}=F_1-F_2=10-5=5\\text{ N}."

The acceleration:

"a=F_\\text{net}\/m=10\/2=2.5\\text{ m\/s}^2."
