Answer:
Net force on the block is 32 N.
Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².
Explanation:
Let the acceleration of the object be m/s².
Given:
Mass of the block is,
Force of pull is,
Frictional force on the block is,
The free body diagram of the object is shown below.
From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:
Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,
Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².
Actually what the problem meant about the westward component of the ball’s displacement is the horizontal component of the displacement. To help us better understand the problem, I attached a figure of the situation.
We can see from the figure that to solve for the value of the horizontal component, we have to make use of the sin function. That is:
sin θ = side opposite to the angle / hypotenuse of the triangle
sin 42 = x / 40 m
x = (40 m) sin 42
x = 26.77 m
Therefore the ball has a westward displacement of about 26.77 m
