Two friends grab different sides of a textbook and pull with forces of 6.7 N to the east and 4.4 N to the west, respectively. What would be the magnitude and direction of the force a third friend would need to exert on the textbook in order to balance the other two forces?

Explanation:

This equation for acceleration can be used to calculate the acceleration of an object that is acted on by a net force. For example, Xander and his scooter have a total mass of 50 kilograms. Assume that the net force acting on Xander and the scooter is 25 Newtons. What is his acceleration? Substitute the relevant values into the equation for acceleration:

a=Fm=25 N50 kg=0.5 Nkg

The Newton is the SI unit for force. It is defined as the force needed to cause a 1-kilogram mass to accelerate at 1 m/s2. Therefore, force can also be expressed in the unit kg • m/s2. This way of expressing force can be substituted for Newtons in Xander’s acceleration so the answer is expressed in the SI unit for acceleration, which is m/s2:

a=0.5 Nkg=0.5 kg⋅m/s2kg=0.5 m/s2

this one:

as we gain mass the force of gravity on us increases.
