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

In summary, the formula for calculating net force is Fnet = ma, where Fnet is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration. The unit of measurement for force is Newton (N). To find acceleration, we can rearrange the formula Fnet = ma to a = Fnet/m. The given values of 24.0 kg and 45.0 N represent the mass of the object and the force applied to it, respectively, and are important in determining the acceleration. This problem can be applied to real-world situations such as a car accelerating on a straight road or a ball falling under the force of gravity.

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

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

1. What is the formula for calculating net force?

The formula for calculating net force is Fnet = ma, where Fnet is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.

2. What is the unit of measurement for force?

The unit of measurement for force is Newton (N).

3. How do you find acceleration using the given information?

To find acceleration, we can rearrange the formula Fnet = ma to a = Fnet/m. In this problem, we have the values for Fnet (45.0 N) and m (24.0 kg), so we can plug them into the formula to find the acceleration.

4. Can you explain the significance of the given values in this problem?

The given values of 24.0 kg and 45.0 N represent the mass of the object and the force applied to it, respectively. These values are important in determining the acceleration of the object.

5. How can this problem be applied to real-world situations?

This problem is similar to situations in which an object is moving with a constant net force and we need to find its acceleration. For example, a car accelerating on a straight road or a ball falling under the force of gravity are scenarios where this formula can be applied.
