Becuse your weighting with chalk that has pigment
Answer:
the speed of the center of mass stays the same
Explanation:
In a system with no energy loss, momentum is conserved if the mass remains constant. The system described has no change in mass, and energy loss is considered negligible. Hence the product of the total mass and the velocity of its center will be a constant. The center of mass stays the same speed.
The rate of acceleration of the crate would be 1 m/s^2 because the equation for force is F=ma and when you plug in your numbers you get 10=10a so a=1
