Question

Physics laws of motion

Answer 1

The acceleration is $0.095 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration. Therefore we can write:

$\sum F = ma$

where:

$\sum F$ is the resultant force acting on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have the following forces acting on the system:

$F_1 = 2500 N$ (forward)

$F_2 = -2400 N$ (backward)

So, Newton's second law can be rewritten as:

$F_1 -F_2 = ma$

where:

m = 1050 kg is the mass of all the students

Solving the formula for a, we find the acceleration of the system:

$a=\frac{F_1-F_2}{m}=\frac{2500+(-2400)}{1050}=0.095 m/s^2$
