What is ax, the x-component of the object's acceleration? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units?

F = ma Fx = max WHERE: Fx = forces in the x direction m = mass ax = acceleration in the x direction If we look at the figure, there are only two forces in the x direction. The first force is the x component force 4.0 N acting to the right, denoted as +4.0 N. The second force is the 2.0 N force acting to the left, denoted as -2.0 N. Fx = max 4.0 N - 2.0 N = (7.8 kg)*ax 2.0 N = (7.8 kg)*ax ax = 0.25641 m/s^2 Because the question is asking you to write it to two significant figures, ==>ax = 0.26 m/s^2
