Define the fundamental difference between kinematics and dynamics. .
1 answer:
In kynematics you describe the motion of particles using vectors and their change in time. You define a position vector r for a particle, and then define velocity v and acceleration a as
In dynamics Newton's laws predict the acceleration for a given force. Knowing the acceleration, and the kynematical relations defines above, you can solve for the position as a function of time: r(t)

Answer:
<em>Thus, the object is accelerating to the left</em>
Explanation:
<u>The Net Force</u>
The net force is the result of adding all the forces as vectors acting on a body.
Each vector can be expressed in its rectangular components Fx and Fy, and the sum is the sum of the rectangular components separately.
Second Newton's law gives the relation between the net force and the acceleration of the body:
We can see the acceleration is a vector with the same direction as the net force.
The diagram shows two vertical forces and two horizontal forces.
The vertical forces are acting in opposite directions and with the same magnitude, thus they cancel out, leaving zero net force in the y-axis.
The horizontal forces are opposite and with different magnitudes. Since the force acting to the left (F3) has a greater magnitude than the force acting to the right (F4), there is a net force directed to the left with a magnitude of 60 N - 20 N = 40 N
Thus, the object is accelerating to the left
