Question

A 10kg sled on a frictionless surface is pulled by the following three forces: 10N in the +x-direction, 20N in the +x-direction, and 25N in the −x-direction. (a) Determine the net force acting on the sled. (b) How far will the sled move if it is initially at rest and the forces are applied for 3.5 seconds?

Step 1

In the +x-direction, we have 10N and 20N, which add up to 30N. In the -x-direction, we have 25N. So, the net force is 30N - 25N = 5N in the +x-direction. Show more…
