Question

The figure in the picture shows a block of mass 2kg resting on a table. A force of 10N is applied to the block pulling it to the right, which gives it an acceleration of 2.5 m/s^2. What is the resultant force of the block?

Answer 1

F = m*a, therefore the force the block has is 2.5*2 = 5. The total force exerted on the block is 10. This means the block is resisting motion (most likely due to friction) by a force of 5 newtons.

Answer 2

aah, cool thanks

Answer 3

yep, np man
