m = mass of the object = 5.6 kg
a = object acceleration = 1 m / s²
F1 = the first force = 11 N
F2 = other force
Assume that both forces are on the same line and that both forces are directed to the east.
The total force is:
F = F1 + F2
In this case:
F = F1 + F2
F = 11 + F2
Apply Newton's second law.
F = m a
11 + F2 = 5.6 ∙ 1
11 + F2 = 5.6
Subtract 11 to both sides
F2 = - 5.4 N
The negative value of the second force shows it is towards the west.
So the other force F2 = 5.4 N towards the west.
A 5.6-kg object is acted on by two forces. One of the forces is 11 N acting toward the east. What is the other force if the acceleration of the object is 1.0 m/ s2 toward the east?
