Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]

Answer:

Option C

Crimp terminals

Explanation:

It's possible to crimp terminals using a multipurpose wiring tool. Since the tool  selected for use during crimping also depends on the volume of work, the multipurpose wiring tool is recommended for use when the volume is small to medium. Basically, crimping tools are sized according to the wire gauge that they can fit. Since multipurpose has different sizes, that's why it's used for crimping tools.
