Answer:
Groceries stay in the bag.
Explanation:
Given:
Maximum force = 250 N
Bag filled with = 20 kg
Lifted acceleration = [tex]5.0\ m/s^2[/tex]
Solution:
We need to calculate the exerted force on the grocery bag by using Newton's second law.
[tex]F = ma[/tex]
Where:
F = Exerted force on the object.
m = Mass of the object in kg
a = Acceleration of the object in [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
Now, we substitute m = 20 kg and a = [tex]5.0\ m/s^2[/tex] in Newton's second law,
[tex]F = 20\times 5.0[/tex]
[tex]F = 100\ m/s^2[/tex]
Since, the exerted force on the bag is less than 250 N, the groceries will stay in the bag.
