Question

a 50 - kg crate is pushed with a horizontal acceleration of 20 m/s². what net force is acting on the crate?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Newton's second law: \(F = ma\)

Step2: Substitute the values

\(m = 50\ \text{kg}\), \(a=20\ \text{m/s}^2\)
\(F=(50)(20)\)

Step3: Calculate the result

\(F = 1000\ \text{N}\)

Answer:

C. \(1000\ \text{N}\)
