Question

A block of mass 2kg is acted upon by two forces: 3N (directed to the left) and 4N (directed to the right). What can you say about the block's motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

The block will be move in to right side.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 2 kg

First force = 3 N

Second force = 4 N

We need to calculate the acceleration

For first force,

Using newton's second law

$F= ma$

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$a=1.5\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the acceleration

For second force,

$a=\dfrac{4}{2}$

$a=2\ m/s^2$

So, we can say that the block will be move to right side because the acceleration is maximum in to right side.

Hence, The block will be move in to right side.
