A washing machine is being dragged with a starting force of 380.8 N to the West, but this is reduced by friction. If the mass of the washing machine is 37 kg and the coefficient of friction is 0.54, what was the Net acceleration experienced by the washing machine?
A 10.27 m/s^2 South
B 5 m/s^2 South
C 19.01 m/s^2 South
D 7.6 m/s^2 South

B. South

Explanation:

The correct statement is:

A washing machine is being dragged with a starting force of 380.8 N to the South, but this is reduced by friction. If the mass of the washing machine is 37 kg  and the coefficient of friction is 0.54, what was the Net acceleration experienced by the washing machine?

The net force of the washing machine moving on the horizontal ground is equal to the external force minus the friction force, where the normal force from the ground on the washing machine is equal to its weight. The free body diagram of the washing machine is presented below. The equation of equilibrium associated with the acceleration of the washing machine is:

(1)

Where:

- External force exerted on the washing machine, measured in newtons.

- Kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

- Mass, measured in kilograms.

- Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

- Net acceleration of the washing machine.

If we know that , , and , then the net acceleration experienced by the washing machine is:

The correct answer is B.

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
