A constant horizontal force of 30.0 N is exerted by a string attached to a 5.0 kg block being pulled across a tabletop. The block also experiences a frictional force of 5.0 N due to contact with the table. What is the horizontal acceleration of the block?

stands for electromotive force and it is measured in volts. despite its name, it is not actually the force in the sense of being a "pushing" or "pulling" (not measured in newtons).an equation that relates emf,  ℰ,  to a battery's terminal voltage, v, current, i, and internal resistance, r, is    ℰ = v + irin this case, the emf can be interpreted as a voltage—a difference in electric potential.i would not say that it would be considered an energy. if emf can be defined as the energy/work per a unit charge from a battery or other electric source, then it is not strictly energy.
