A child tugs on a rope attached to a 062kg toy with a horizontal force of 163 N A puppy pulls the toy in the opposite direction with a force 158 NWhat is the ac class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a=0.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a toy, m = 0.62 kg

Horizontal force, F = 16.3 N

Force on the opposite direction, F' = 15.8 N

We need to find the acceleration of the toy.

Here, two forces are acting in opposite direction, the net force will be the difference of forces.

Net force = 16.3 N-15.8 N

=0.5 N

The formula for net force is given by :

F = ma

a is the acceleration of the toy

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{0.5\ N}{0.62\ kg}\\\\a=0.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration of the toy is [tex]0.8\ m/s^2[/tex].

In physics, tension is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object.

According to the question, the formula we use in this method is F = ma as we have to find the acceleration.

Therefore, the formula for the acceleration is

[tex]a= \frac{F}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a= \frac{0.5}{0.62}[/tex]

Hence, after the calculation, the acceleration is 0.8m/s.
