Answer:

The total frictional force equals 60 N

Explanation:

We know that F - f = ma where F is the applied force, f is the frictional force, m the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

Now, since the cart moves with constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. So, a = 0.

So F - f = ma

F - f = m(0) = 0

F - f = 0

So, F = f

From the above, we see that the frictional force equals the applied force which is equal to 60 N.

So, f the total frictional force equals 60 N

Bumek [7]

An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

<h3>What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>

It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

  • An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.
  • The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.

  • When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.

Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Manuel is holding a 5kg box. How much force is the box exerting on him?In what direction
soldi70 [24.7K]
The force the box is exerting on Manuel is the weight of the box, downward:
W=mg=(5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=49.05 N
and this force is perfectly balanced by the constraint reaction applied by Manuel's hand, pushing upward.
