Question

A force of 6.0 N gives a 2.0 kg block an acceleration of 3.0

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Net Force of the object can be written by:

Fnet = ma

where m is the mass of the object in kg

a is the acceleration of the object in m/s^2

Hence by applying the formula we get:

Fnet = (2.0)(3.0)

= 6N

We also know that Net force is also the sum of all forces acting on an object. In this case Friction and the Pushing Force is acting on the object. Hence we can write that:

Fnet = Pushing Force + (-Friction)

6N = 6N - Friction

Friction = 0N

Hence the force of friction is 0N.
