Question

A body of mass 5kg acted upon two perpendicular forces 8N & 6N find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the body?

Answer 1

net force =8+6=14N along direction of both force(perpendicular)
from Newton second law, F(net)= mass ×acceleration
a=F/m
a=14N/5kg
a=14kgm/s²/5kg
a=2.8m/s² along direction of the net force (ans)
