1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A 50N force is applied to a 10kg object in the horizontal direction across a surface where Ms=.6. What is the acceleration of the object?
All answers below are in terms of acceleration so no units are provided.
A)0
B)-1.0
c)11
d)8
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
I found out the frictional force and it was 58.8N, thereforce I think the acceleration would be 0 since the frictional force is greater than the applied force. Am I correct?
