By Newton's 2nd law of motion, F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
Rearranging this equation to find acceleration would give us:
a = F/m
The horizontal force to the right is 10N, because the box is pushed to the right with a force of 20N, and the friction force of 10N opposes that, so:
20N - 10N = 10N
The mass is 2kg.
Putting these values into the equation gives us:
a = F/m
= 10/2
= 5ms^-2
The acceleration of the box is 5ms^-2
Answer:
Directly proportional: as one amount increases another amount increases at the ... The "constant of proportionality" is the value that relates the two amounts ... Example: y is directly proportional to x, and when x=3 then y=15. ... Speed and travel time are Inversely Proportional because the faster we go the shorter the time.
