Step 1

We can use trigonometry to do this. The horizontal component of the force is given by: F_horizontal = F * cos(theta) where F is the magnitude of the force (47 N) and theta is the angle below the horizontal (29 degrees). F_horizontal = 47 N * cos(29 Show more…

A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a 55 kg block of ice across a frozen lake with a force 29 degrees below the horizontal. If he is successfully sliding the block with a constant force of 47 N, what is the block's acceleration?
