A 30.0 kg box is being pulled across a carpeted floor by a horizontal force of 230 N., against a friction force of 210 N. Calculate the acceleration of the box and find the x and y components of the acceleration of the box. Align the positive direction with the normal force and the negative direction with the pulling force.

1 answer

The acceleration of the box is 20 N/kg.

The x component of the acceleration is 20 N/kg in the positive direction.

The y component of the acceleration is 0 N/kg.
