SUMMARY
To find acceleration when only the horizontal force component (Fx) is known, and the force is applied at an angle of 25 degrees, one must first determine the total force (F) using the equation F = Fx/cos(25). The vertical component of the force (Fy) can be calculated as Fy = Fx(tan(25)). Finally, to compute acceleration, the mass of the object must be known, as acceleration (a) is derived from Newton's second law, a = F/m.
