A 5 kg trolley is pulled forward by a force of 60 N while friction of 15 N acts against it. What is its acceleration?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 9 m/s
- Step 1: Net force N.
- Step 2: m/s.
Answer
9 m/s.
Why not the others: 12 m/s: friction is ignored. 15 m/s: friction is added to the pulling force. 45 m/s: the net force is not divided by the mass.
