On earth, a block is placed on a frictionless table on earth. When a horizontal force of 10 N is applied to the block, it accelerates at 5.3 m/s2. Suppose the block and table are set up on the moon. When a horizontal force of 5 N is applied to the block, what is the acceleration?
a.3.2m/s^2
b. 2.7m/s^2
c. 3.4m/s^2
d. 2.4m/s^2

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is: b. 2.7m/s²

Explanation:

Data

Force = 10 N

a = 5.3 m/s²

Moon

F = 5 N

a = ?

Formula

F = m x a

Process

Find the mass of the table

              m = F / a

              m = 10 / 5.3

              m = 1.887 kg

Now, find the acceleration

            a = F / m

            a = 5 / 1.887

            a = 2.65 m/s² ≈ 2.7 m/s²

Answer:

a = F / m = 5N / 1.887kg = 2.65 m/s (answer choice B)
