OpenStudy (anonymous):

A force of 19 newtons is applied on a cart of 2 kilograms, and it experiences a frictional force of 1.7 newtons. What is the acceleration of the cart?

OpenStudy (souvik):

what is the net force on the cart?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 kilograms?

OpenStudy (souvik):

that is not force...unit of force is Newton..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19?

OpenStudy (souvik):

net force is 19-1.7 N=17.3N because the two forces acts in opposite direction...

OpenStudy (souvik):

force = mass*acceleration or...acceleration =force/mass.. you know the force and mass...find the acceleration,,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 8.65?

OpenStudy (souvik):

yeah...right..
