A 230 kg steel crate is being pushed along a cement floor. The force of friction is 480 N to the left and the applied force is 1860 N to the right. What is the acceleration of the crate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

net force=mass*acceleartion and net force=1860-480

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the net force would be 1380

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

miguel just try to draw a picture it would be more easy

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

|dw:1403185530658:dw| so acceleration A=force/mass \[A=\frac{ F }{ M }=\frac{ 1380 }{ 9.81}\]
