A net force acting on a 5.0 kg box produces an acceleration of 4.2 m/s2. What acceleration will the same net force cause on a 2.8 kg box?
Added by Bruce S.
Step 1
0 kg box. We know that F = m * a, where F is the net force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. For the 5.0 kg box: F = 5.0 kg * 4.2 m/s² F = 21 N (Newtons) Show more…
