Answer:
(35 N - 10 N)/8kg = 3.125 m/s^2
Explanation:
The formula for Force is:
Force = Mass*Acceleration
(Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration)
Since we're told to find the acceleration of the box. We make acceleration the subject of the equation:
Acceleration = Force/Mass
(Acceleration equal to Force divided by Mass)
We know that the force are 35 N forward and 10 N backward, and the weight of the box is 8kg.
= (35 N - 10 N)/8kg
The reason that 35 N minus 10 N is because the 10 N is pushing the box backward.
= 25 N/8kg
= 3.125 m/s^2
Hope it helps :DD
