Fnet = 45.0Find Accel. in Airport Problem with 24.0 kg & 45.0 N Force

AI Thread Summary
To find the acceleration of the 24.0 kg object being pulled at an angle with a 45.0 N force, the net force in the horizontal direction (Fx) is calculated as 41.72 N, and the vertical force (Fy) is 18.86 N. Since friction is negligible, the acceleration can be determined using Newton's second law, F=ma. The total net force acting on the object is the horizontal component, which leads to the calculation of acceleration. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing the relationship between force and acceleration in solving the problem.

A woman at an airport is pulling her 24.0 kg by a strap at an angle of 22 ° above the horizontal as shown in figure Fig. P5.44. She pulls on the strap with a 45.0 N force, and friction is negligible.
How would you find acceleration in this problem, there doesn't seem to be enough info but I know there is.
I calculated this
Fx = 41.72
Fy = 18.86

Well... how do you relate force and acceleration...
 
lol, duh F=ma
 
thank you, I just needed that little hint
 
anytime :approve:

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
