What is the acceleration of a cabinet of mass 45 kilograms if Jake and Ted push it by applying horizontal force of 25 newtons and 18 newtons respectively in the same direction? (Assume a flat, frictionless surface.)

OpenStudy (badhi):

You know all the forces in the direction of movement, and the mass, so apply F=ma to find acceleration - a

iv never did tht before

OpenStudy (badhi):

Do you know the newtons 2nd law?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really thts what im learning

OpenStudy (badhi):

Can you tell us what you've learned so far? Can you draw a force diagram when the forces are given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im doin a site called plato.. can u tell me how to do f=ma without giving the answere

OpenStudy (badhi):

First of all you have to be able to draw forces that is applied on the object in this scenario,
