The only force acting on a 5kg object has components Fx = 15N and Fy = 20N. the resultant acceleration is:
Question
Solution
To find the resultant acceleration, we first need to find the resultant force.
Step 1: Find the resultant force The resultant force (F) can be found using Pythagoras' theorem since the components are at right angles to each other.
F = sqrt(Fx^2 + Fy^2) F = sqrt((15N)^2 + (20N)^2) F = sqrt(225 + 400) F = sqrt(625) F = 25N
Step 2: Find the acceleration Next, we use Newton's second law (F = ma) to find the acceleration (a).
a = F/m a = 25N / 5kg a = 5 m/s^2
So, the resultant acceleration of the object is 5 m/s^2.
