Problem

A 12 kg12\,\text{kg} wooden crate is pushed across a horizontal concrete floor by a constant 50 N50\,\text{N} force directed to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.200.20. Taking rightward as positive, calculate the crate’s horizontal acceleration (signed value).
