A student pulls a box of books on a smooth horizontal floor with a force of 100 N in a direction of 370 above the horizontal. If the mass of the box and the books is 40.0 kg, what is the acceleration of the box?
1.9 m/s².
1.5 m/s².
3.3 m/s².
2.0 m/s².
A block of mass m slides down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle θ with the horizontal. The normal reaction force exerted by the plane on the block is:
mgcosθ.
mgsinθ.
Zero, since the plane is frictionless.
mg.
