Question

A wagon having a mass of 42 kg is accelerated across a level road at 1.50 m/s2. What net force acts on the wagon horizontally?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The net force acting on the wagon is 63 N

Explanation:

Net Force

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass (m) is:

F = m.a

Where (a) is the acceleration of the object.

The wagon has a mass of m=42 Kg is accelerated at $a=1.5\ m/s^2$. The net force is:

F = 42*1.5

F = 63 N

The net force acting on the wagon is 63 N
