Homework Statement
Two horizontal forces act on a 3.5 kg chopping block that can slide over a frictionless kitchen counter, which lies in an xy plane. One force is F1 = (3.1 N) + (7.8 N). Find the acceleration of the chopping block in unit-vector notation when the other force is (a) F2 = (-3.1 N) + (-7.8 N), (b) F2 = (-3.1 N) + (7.8 N), and (c) F2 = (3.1 N) + (-7.8 N).
Homework Equations
F=ma?
The Attempt at a Solution
I feel like I want to add vectors but I do not know where the mass comes into play other than in the equation F=ma
