Question

A man pushes a box of mass 50kg with a force of 80N. what will be the acceleration of the box due to this force. what would be the acceleration if the mass is halved.

Open in App

Solution

F= ma
or a= F/m
put
F=80N
m=50kg
then
a=1.6m/s²

If m=m/2=25 kg
then a=3.3m/s²

Q. A man of mass

80

kg pushes a box of mass

20

kg horizontally. The man moves the box with a constant acceleration of

2 m / s^{2}

but his foot does not slip on the ground. There is no friction between the box and the ground, whereas there is sufficient friction between the man's foot and the ground to prevent him from slipping.
Statement-1: The force applied by the man on the box is equal and opposite to the force applied by the box on the man.
and
Statement-2: Friction force applied by the ground on the man is
