Answer:
[tex]a=5.51\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a bag of acorns, m = 8.5 kg
The force acting on the bag = 80 N
The force of friction = 32 N
We need to find the acceleration of the bag of acorns.
Net force acting on it is = 80 N - 32 N
= 48 N
Let a be the acceleration of the bag of acorns. So,
F = ma
[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{48}{8.7}\\\\a=5.51\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the bag of acorns is [tex]5.51\ m/s^2[/tex].
