Question: A 2 kg block is pulled with a force of 10 N. What is the frictional force if the block accelerates at 3 m/s²?
Options:
Correct Answer: 6 N
Solution:
Net force = mass * acceleration = 2 kg * 3 m/s² = 6 N. The applied force is 10 N, so frictional force = applied force - net force = 10 N - 6 N = 4 N.
