Newton's Second law is an object will accelerate only wher there is a net external force acting
So far I figured out:
m=19kg
a(acceleration)=1.8m/s^2[forward]
(u)coefficient of Fk=0.080[back]
F(applied force)=?
Idon't know how to setup the equation
a curler exerts a force forward on a 19kg curling stone and gives it an acceleration of 1.8m/s(squared) [forward]. the coefficient of kinetic friction of the ice on the curling stone is 0.080 [back]. calculate the value of the applied force. thank you in advanced
