Answer 1

To find the acceleration when a net force of 20.0 N is applied to a mass of 5.0 kg, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that:

\[ F = m \cdot a \]

Where:

• \( F \) is the net force applied,
• \( m \) is the mass of the object,
• \( a \) is the acceleration.

From the information given in the data table:

1. For the first row:

   • Net Force = 5.0 N, Mass = 5.0 kg
   • Using \( F = m \cdot a \): \( a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{5.0,N}{5.0,kg} = 1.0,m/s^2 \)

2. For the second row:

   • Net Force = 10.0 N, Mass = 5.0 kg
   • \( a = \frac{10.0,N}{5.0,kg} = 2.0,m/s^2 \)

3. For the third row:

   • Net Force = 20.0 N, Mass = 5.0 kg
   • \( a = \frac{20.0,N}{5.0,kg} = 4.0,m/s^2 \)

So, the last cell's value for acceleration when the net force is 20.0 N would be 4.0 m/s².

The correct response is: 4.0.
