The x -component of the object's acceleration is 2 m/s².
<h3>What's the resultant force along x- direction?</h3>- Forces along x axis direction are as follows
- 4N along +x axis, so it's taken as +4 N
- 2N along -x axis , so it's taken as -2N.
- Resultant force along x direction = 4N - 2N = 2 N which is along + ve x direction.
- As per Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration of the object
- Force along x axis= mass × acceleration along x axis= 2N
- Acceleration = 2/ mass = 2/1 = 2 m/s²
Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration along x axis is 2 m/s².
