A 10-kg wagon is pulled by a force of 70 Newtons while friction provides 20 Newtons of force. How much acceleration will the wagon have?

5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of wagon  = 10kg

Force of pull  = 70N

Frictional force = 20N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the wagon = ?

Solution:

Frictional force is a force that opposes motion.

The net force is given as:

   Net force  = mass x acceleration

 Force of pull  - Frictional force = mass x acceleration

 Insert the parameters and solve;

     70 - 20  = 10 x acceleration

       50  = 10 x acceleration

      Acceleration  = 5m/s²

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

cant without the picture! ?
