Answer:
<h2>10 m/s²</h2>
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

m is the mass
f is the force
From the question we have

We have the final answer as
<h3>10 m/s²</h3>
Hope this helps you
To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.
In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.
By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

Where,
Tensile strength
F = Tensile Force
A = Cross-sectional Area
In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as

where,
Shear strength
Shear Force
Parallel Area
PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then

Resolving for F,

PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then



In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.
1). The little projectile is affected by friction all the way through the block.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.
2). The block is affected by friction as it scrapes along the top of the post.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.
3). The block is also affected by friction with the air (air resistance) as it
falls to the ground. Friction robs some kinetic energy.
A because an earthquake is shaking of tectonic plates
The statement is false. Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion. (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)
