Answer:
The acceleration of the crate is 1 m/s²
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the crate, m = 5 kg
Two forces applied on the crate i.e. one is 3.0 N to the north and the other is 4.0 N to the east. So, there resultant force is :
[tex]F_{net}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2} =5\ N[/tex]
We need to find the acceleration of the crate. It is given by using the second law of motion as :
[tex]a=\dfrac{F_{net}}{m}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{5\ N}{5\ kg}[/tex]
a = 1 m/s²
So, the acceleration of the crate is 1 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.
