An object with a mass of #4 kg# is acted on by two forces. The first is #F_1= < -1 N , 3 N># and the second is #F_2 = < 6 N, 5 N>#. What is the object's rate and direction of acceleration?
The rate of acceleration is
The resultant force is
We apply Newton's second Law
The magnitude of the acceleration is
The angle lies in the 1st quadrant

The object's rate and direction of acceleration can be determined by first finding the net force acting on the object by summing the individual forces, and then using Newton's second law (F = ma) to calculate the acceleration vector.
Given:
To find the net force:
Now, using Newton's second law:
So, the object's rate of acceleration is in the x-direction and in the y-direction.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- An object with a mass of #10 kg# is on a plane with an incline of # - pi/4 #. If it takes #12 N# to start pushing the object down the plane and #4 N# to keep pushing it, what are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction?
- If an object with a mass of #10 kg # is moving on a surface at #15 ms^-1# and slows to a halt after # 4 s#, what is the friction coefficient of the surface?
- An object, previously at rest, slides #5 m# down a ramp, with an incline of #(3pi)/8 #, and then slides horizontally on the floor for another #15 m#. If the ramp and floor are made of the same material, what is the material's kinetic friction coefficient?
- An object with a mass of #5 # # kg# is on a surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of # 4 #. How much force is necessary to accelerate the object horizontally at # 6# #ms^-2#?
