[slammer]

Homework Statement

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

Homework Equations

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?
