Answer:

C. 1.27x10^5m/s^2

Explanation:

The information we have is:

mass: m=145g

we must convert this amount to kilograms, because 1 kilogram equals 1000 grams, we divide the grams by 1000 to have the amount in kilograms

mass: m=145g/1000=0.145kg

also we know the force: F=18,400N

To know the acceleration of the object we make use of Newton's second law:

F=ma

and we clear for the acceleration a

a=\frac{F}{m}

and we substitute the known values:

a=\frac{18,400N}{0.145kg} =126,896.6m/s^2

rounding and expressing this value for acceleration in a compact way:

a=1.27x10^5m/s ^2 which is option C

The correct formula to use for the situation given above is: F = MA, where F is the applied force, M is the mass of the object and A is the acceleration.

From the details given in the question, we are told that:

F = 18, 400N

M = 145 g = 145 / 1000 = 0.145 kg

A = ?

From the equation F = MA

A = F / M

A = 18,400 / 0.145 = 126,896.55 = 1.27 *10^5.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

oee [108]

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775° 

 

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N 

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>

<span>Work = 980 J </span>
