Answer:

a = 5.5 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF =m*a

where:

F = Force [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 20 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the force of 230 [N] as positive, in this way the other force will be negative, by pointing in the opposite direction.

230 - 120 = 20*a\\110 = 20*a\\a=5.5 [m/s^{2} ]

How is energy measured?​
stepladder [879]

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.
