The net force on an object subject to friction is equal to the sum of the applied force and the frictional force.

Mathematically,

F_{N} = ma = F_{applied} - f_{fr}

Here, m is mass of object and a is its acceleration. We take frictional force negative because it opposes the motion of object.

Given, m=15\ kg , F_{applied} =45\ N and f_{fr} = 30\ N

Substituting these values in above formula, we get

15\ kg\times a = 45\ N -30\ N=15\ N \\\\a=\frac{15\ N}{15\ kg} =1\ m/s^2.

Thus, the acceleration of an object is 1\ m/s^2.

A piece of nickel at 25 °C is dropped into a glass of water at 25 °C. Which statement is correct?
Makovka662 [10]
The answer is C the temp of water in both beakers will decrease since the metal is flowing heat into the water. Therefore we can say the metal losses heat and the water gains the heat lost by the metal minus any heat loss to surroundings! Hope this explanation helps you understand the concept! Please rate if I helped you! Thank you so much!
