To complete the last cell in the table, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration).
We can rearrange this formula to find acceleration:
\[ a = \frac{F}{m} \]
For the third row of the table, we have:
- Net force (F) = 20.0 N
- Mass (m) = 5.0 kg
Now we plug in the values:
\[ a = \frac{20.0 , \text{N}}{5.0 , \text{kg}} = 4.0 , \text{m/s}^2 \]
Thus, the value that would complete the last cell for acceleration is 4.0 m/s².
