Question

A sledge of mass 25kg is pulled across level
ground with a horizontal force of 60 N. The
constant force of friction is 20N.What is the
acceleration of the sledge?​

Answer 1

The net force acting on the sledge is given as 60 N-20 N=40 N.

We know that,Acceleration

Force/Mass

• That is,a=40/25=1.6 m/s²

Hence,the acceleration of the sledge is 1.6 m/s².

Answer 2

Answer:

1.6m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

F net = force applied - frictional force (since both are opposing)

Fnet = 60-20

= 40

we know that,

F=ma

a=F/m

= 40/25

=1.6
