1. Understanding Net Force
* Net force is the overall force acting on an object.
* When forces act in opposite directions, we subtract them to find the net force.
2. Calculating Net Force
* Force 1: 11.00 N
* Force 2: 7.00 N (opposite direction)
* Net Force: 11.00 N - 7.00 N = 4.00 N
3. Applying Newton's Second Law
* Newton's Second Law of Motion states: Force (F) = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)
4. Calculating Acceleration
* Mass (m): 0.750 kg
* Net Force (F): 4.00 N
* Acceleration (a): F/m = 4.00 N / 0.750 kg = 5.33 m/s²
Answer:
* Net force: 4.00 Newtons
* Acceleration: 5.33 meters per second squared
