Motion on horizontal surface without friction force – application of Newton's law of motion
problems and solutions
1. Mass of object 1 is 2 kg, mass of object 2 is 4 kg, acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s 2, magnitude of
force F is 12 Newton. Determine magnitude and direction of objects' acceleration.
Known :
m1 = 2 kg, m2 = 4 kg, g = 10 m/s2, F = 12 Newton
Wanted : a
Solution :
ΣF = m a
F = (m1 + m2) a
12 = (2 + 4) a
12 = 6 a
a = 12 / 6
a = 2 m/s2
Magnitude of acceleration is 2 m/s2, direction of acceleration = direction of net force = rightward.
2. Mass of object 1 is 2 kg, mass of object 2 is 4 kg, acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s 2, magnitude of
force F is 24 N. Determine magnitude and direction of acceleration.
