Answer:

1 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The Net Force refers to the sum of all forces acting on an object. Hence,

Net Force of box

= 20 + (-9.0)       [It is -9.0 as both forces are in different directions]

= 11.0 N

We also need to know that the net force on an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object. Hence,

F_{net} = ma

11.0 = 12.0a

a = 1 m/s^{2} (nearest whole number)

Explain how to correctly add vectors in 2-D
Simora [160]
To add vectors we can use the head to tail method (Figure 1).
Place the tail of one vector at the tip of the other vector.
Draw an arrow from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector. This new vector is the sum of the first two vectors.

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?
Leno4ka [110]
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.
