1) A net force of 75.5 N is applied horizontally to slide a 225 kg crate across the floor. a. Compute the acceleration of the crate?

The acceleration of the crate is

Explanation:

Recall the formula that relates force,mass and acceleration from newton's second law;

Then in our case, we know the force applied and we know the mass of the crate, so we can solve for the acceleration as shown below:
