select the correct answer.\na bookshelf is at rest in a room. a force of 35.0 newtons is applied to a bookshelf. if the floor imparts a frictional force of 2.90 newtons, what is the net force acting on the bookshelf?\na. 37.9 newtons\nb. 32.1 newtons\nc. 33.1 newtons\nd. 35.0 newtons\ne. 50.5 newtons
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify forces
The applied force $F_{applied}=35.0$ N and the frictional force $F_{friction}=2.90$ N act in opposite directions.
Step2: Calculate net - force
The net force $F_{net}$ is given by the difference between the applied force and the frictional force. Using the formula $F_{net}=F_{applied}-F_{friction}$. Substitute the values: $F_{net}=35.0 - 2.90$. $F_{net}=32.1$ N
Answer:
B. 32.1 newtons
