Problem

15\,\text{kg}

crate on a nearly frictionless horizontal floor is pulled to the right by a rope with a force of

50\,\text{N}

while another worker pushes to the left with

20\,\text{N}

. Taking the rightward direction as positive, what is the crate’s acceleration? a)

+3.3\,\text{m/s}^{2}

+2.0\,\text{m/s}^{2}

-2.0\,\text{m/s}^{2}

+1.3\,\text{m/s}^{2}
