A body of 5 kg is pushed by two forces at right angles to each other, 8 N and 6 N. How strongly does it accelerate, in m/s²?

expects 2 m/s²

24 checks, 0 agreed

draft 24: failed while solving — RuntimeError: no equation determines the acceleration of body during pushed from what is known the engine knows: known: mass of body; force on body by pusher1 during pushed; force on body by pusher2 during pushed; magnitude_from_components(acceleration of body during pushed): acceleration of body during pushed == sqrt(((acceleration of body during pushed along x ** 2) + (acceleration of body during pushed along y ** 2))) — not yet known: acceleration of body during pushed along x; acceleration of body during pushed along y
