Question

Two squirrels are fighting over a nut that has a mass of 0.12 kg. One squirrel pulls to the left with a force of 5 N and the other squirrel pulls to the right with a force of 3.5 N. Determine the magnitude and direction of the nut’s acceleration.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The mass of the nut,

$m = 0.12 kg$

The force 1,

${\vec{F}}_{1} = - 5.0 N$

The force 2,

${\vec{F}}_{2} = 3.5 N$
