A crate with mass 32.5 kg initially at rest on a warehouse floor is acted on by a net horizontal force of 140. N. What acceleration is produced? How far does the crate travel in 10.0 s?

Question

A crate with mass 32.5 kg initially at rest on a warehouse floor is acted on by a net horizontal force of 140. N.  What acceleration is produced? How far does the crate travel in 10.0 s?

naveenbabbar · Answer

a= Net force/mass
s=(1/2) x acceleration x square of time

rvc · Answer

Newton's Second law
F=ma

so a= f/m

now since initial velocity u=0 n we want distance i.e s
s=ut+1/2 at^2
here u=0
a= the value u obtain m/s^2
t= 10 sec

thats it :)
