The vector sum of forces acting on a non-accelerating object equals zero.
equation form: ΣF = 0
I believe it is a conductor I am learning this myself so I may be wrong
<h3><u>
For the aceleration:</u></h3>
First, let's find the resultant, and <u>applicate 2nd law of Newton</u> using the resultant, so:
R = ma
F - Ff = ma
Data:
F = Force = 1150 N
Ff = Friction force = 490 N
m = Mass = 150 kg
a = Aceleraction = ?
Replacing according our data:
1150 N - 490 N = 150 kg * a
660 N = 150 kg * a
660 N / 150 kg = a
a = 4,4 m/s² ← Aceleration of the object
<h3><u>For the normal force:</u></h3>
The normal force IS NOT the resultant force, the normal force's the force between the ground and the object, in another words, is the weight of the object, and for the weight:
w = mg
w = 150 kg * 10 m/s²
w = 1500 N ← Normal force between object and ground.
