Ahmed is pushing a 4 Kg box to the right and Rashid is Pushing it to the right as well with a force of 12 N , the box accelerates by 5 m/s^2. What is the Force that is applied by Ahmed

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 N

Explanation:

Applying,

(F'+F) = ma............... Equation 1

Where F' = Amhed's force, F = Rashid's force, m = mass of the box, a = acceleration of the box.

From the question,

Given: F = 12 N, m = 4 kg, a = 5 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

(F'+12) = 4×5

(F'+12) = 20

F' = 20-12

F' = 8 N.

Hence Ahmed's force is 8 N
