Question

A box of books with mass 58 kg rests on the level floor of the campus bookstore. The floor is freshly waxed and has negligible friction. A bookstore worker applies a constant horizontal force with magnitude 25 N to the box. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

the magnitude of the acceleration a = 0.43 m/s²

Explanation:

m = 58kg

F = 25 N

a = ?

recall that F = ma

=> a = F/m

a = 25/58

a = 0.43 m/s²
