Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, we can, provided the direction of the forces are known.

Acceleration = 22 $m/s^2$ or =2 $m/s^2$ depending on the direction of the forces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, we can, provided the direction of the forces are known.

For example, if the forces are in the same direction, then the effective force is 10N + 12N = 22N

On the contrary, if the forces are in opposite direction, then the effective force is 2N in the direction of the force 12N.

Now Force = mass times acceleration

Therefore, acceleration = Force/mass

=22 $m/s^2$ or =2 $m/s^2$ depending on the direction of the forces.
