A 2 kg crate on a rough horizontal floor is pushed by a horizontal force of 60 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5. Taking m/s, find the acceleration.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 25.1 m/s
- Step 1: Friction N.
- Step 2: m/s.
Answer
25.1 m/s.
Why not the others: 30 m/s: friction is ignored. 34.9 m/s: friction is added instead of subtracted. 50.2 m/s: the net force is not divided by the mass.
