  • Net Force and Acceleration Calculation: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    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
