Minds on Physics Internet Modules Newton's Laws NLS F=ma Calculations For Cred Student Teacher Consider the free-body diagram shown below. Use the numerical value for the individual forces and the approximate value of g (10 m/s/s) to determine the acceleration of the object (in units of m/s/s). Assign a negative number to the acceleration if it is leftward or downward. Enter a numerical answer. Che ### #! Progr Fnorm = 100 N Fapp = 50 N Fgray = 100 N nuit Accomment

Answer 1

Given is :-

Frau = 100N

g=10m/s

therefore the mass of the object will be

Farav = mg

or

100N = m(10m/s)

which gives us

m = 10kg

now,

The forces in vertical direction will cancel each other out, there is net force in only horizontal direction, therefore by applying Newton's second law in horizontal direction, we get

Fapp = ma

or

50N = (10kg)

which gives us

a = 5m/s?

This is the required acceleration in the right direction.
