Resultant force F= sqrt (16^2+12^2) => F=20N So F=ma => a=F/m=20/200 => a=0.1 ms-2

Total magnitude of Force is {(16)^2 + (12)^2}^1/2 = (256 + 144)^1/2=20 N Now,Force = Mass x Acceleration==>Acceleration = Force/Mass =20/200 = 0.1 m/sec^2

16N and 12N are acting in mutually perpendicular direction. So resultant force = â??(16² + 12²) = â??256+144 = â??400 = 20N mass of body = 200 kg acceleration = net force/mass = 20/200 = 0.1 m/s².

16N and 12N are acting in mutually perpendicular direction. So resultant force = â??(16² + 12²) = â??256+144 = â??400 = 20N mass of body = 200 kg acceleration = net force/mass = 20/200 = 0.1 m/s²

Easy, Qualitative and Tricky Mathematician

Simple take resultant force of 16N and 12N and it will become 20N Then a= F/m so 20N / 200kg ==0.1 N/kg

16N and 12N are acting in mutually perpendicular direction. So resultant force = â??(16² + 12²) = â??256+144 = â??400 = 20N

F=ma , net force is 16-12=4N then 4N=200kg*a , so a=.002 m/s2

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?
The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.
