Answer:
a = 0.5 m/s²
Explanation:
the type of problem is called a Newtons second law of motion.
and the equation would be the sum of F = m * a where m = mass and a = acceleration
forces are 125N and the opposite direction is 120N
Eli pushes the table with a force of 120N towards Andy
and
Andy pushes the table with a force of 125N towards Eli
mass of table given as 10 kg.
using the equation
120N - 125N = 10kg * a
a = (120-125) / 10
a = -0.5 m/s² so the acceleration is in the direction of Andy's force towards Eli.
therefore a = 0.5 m/s²
