Question

two forces are applied to a 40kg object. one force is 50N and the other is 60N. if the forces are perpendicular to another, what will the resultant acceleration of the object be?

Answer 1

What is sqrt(50^2+60^2) ?

that force=m*a solve for a.

Answer 2

sqrt(50^2+60^2)

= 78.1

F=ma

78.1=(40)a ----> 78.1/40=a

a= 1.95m/s^2 is this correct? :)

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

thank you so much! definitely appreciate the help.
