A 40 Kg object in space is pushed by three forces. One force is 50N. Another force, exactly opposite in direction to the first force, is 35N. If the acceleration is 2 m/s/s, what are two possibilities for the third force?
Added by Sofia T.
Step 1
In this case, the net force is 40 Kg * 2 m/s/s = 80N. Second, we know that the first two forces are acting in opposite directions. So, their combined effect is 50N - 35N = 15N. Show more…

A 2.00 kg object is subjected to three forces that give it an acceleration a = -(8.00 m/s^2)i + (6.00 m/s^2)j. If two of the three forces are F1 = (30.0 N)i + (16.0 N)j and F2 = -(12.0 N)i + (8.00 N)j, find the third force.

A 3-kg mass undergoes an acceleration given by a = (2 i + 5j) m's. Determine the resultant force F and its magnitude.
A $2.00 \mathrm{~kg}$ object is subjected to three forces that give it an acceleration $\vec{a}=-\left(8.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\left(6.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right) \hat{\mathrm{j}} . \quad$ If two of the three forces are $\vec{F}_{1}=(30.0 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(16.0 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{j}}$ and $\vec{F}_{2}=$ $-(12.0 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(8.00 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{j}},$ find the third force.
