Aboat's motor pushes with 25 n of force and viscous
friction resists with 5 n. if the boat is 100 kg, find its
acceleration.

0.2m/s^2

Explanation: newton's first law of motion: F=ma. Fnet=applied force-frictional force. Therefore, Fnet=ma. Make "a" the subject of the formula which will result a=(Fappl-Frict)m.

Therefore a=(25-5)N/100kg

a= 20/100

a= 0.2m/s^2

b

explanation:

bc its just b

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
