Determine the magnitude of the force that must be applied to a wooden block whose weight has a magnitude of 8N, so that it acquires an acceleration of 0.5 m / s²

Respuesta :

Answer:

F = 0.408 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of a wooden block, W = 8 N

Weight, W = mg

m is mass of wooden block

[tex]m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{8\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\m=0.816\ kg[/tex]

Acceleration of the block, a = 0.5 m/s²

Force, F = ma

[tex]F=0.816\ kg\times 0.5\ m/s^2\\\\F=0.408\ N[/tex]

So, the magnitude of force applied to the wooden block is 0.408 N.
