An object with a mass of 7kg is on a surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of 8. How much force is necessary to accelerate the object horizontally at 32ms2?

784N

Explanation:

enter image source here As,the object is going on a horizontal surface,frictional force acting on it will be f=uN or umg i.e (8710) N or, 560 N

So,le't's assume we will be requiring a force of F to cause an acceleration of 32 SI units on it.

so,we can write, Ff=ma(where, m is the mass of the object and a is its acceleration)

so, F=(560+732) N or, 784N

The force is =772.8N

Explanation:

The mass of the object is m=7kg

The acceleration is a=32ms2

The coefficient of kinetic friction is

μk=FrN=8

The normal force is N=7gN

The frictional force is Fr=μk×N=87g=56gN

The force necessary to accelerate the object is =FN

The acceleration due to gravity is g=9.8ms2

According to Newton's Second Law

FFr=ma

F=ma+Fr=((7×32)+(56g))N=772.8N
