Take a look at the attachment below. As you can see, the figure demonstrates a 90 degree angle such that the surfaces are perpendicular, and hence are independent of the angle of incidence. You could say that this forms a part of a parallelogram -

you push a 51 kg box with a force of 485 N. the friction force on the box is 232 N. calculate the acceleration of the crate.
vichka [17]

Answer:

a = 4.96 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the box, m = 51 Kg

The magnitude of the applied force, Fₐ = 485 N

The friction force on the box, Fₓ = 232 N

The net force acting on the box is,

                                 F = Fₐ - Fₓ

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                                  F = 485 - 232

                                    = 253 N

The acceleration of the crate is given by

                                   a = F/m

                                      = 253 / 51

                                      = 4.96 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the crate is, a = 4.96 m/s²

What are the two forces involved in an interaction called
natka813 [3]

Answer:These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.
