Question

An 8-N force is applied to a 2-kg box to accelerate it to the right across a table. The box
encounters a force of friction of 5 N. What is the acceleration of the object?
(1 Point)
4 m/s2
2.5 m/s2
1.5 m/s2
1 m/s2

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

resultant force=8-5=3N

using f=ma

a=f/m

=3/2

=1.5
