Question

A 75.0 kg man pushes backward on a 300.0 kg boat with a force of 150.0N causing the boat to accelerate backward at 0.5m/s^2. What is the acceleration of the man?

A) 150.0 m/s^2
B) 8.00 m/s^2
C) 2.00 m/s^2
D) 4.00 m/s^2

Answer 1

C) 2.00 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

F = m*a

150N = 75kg(a)

a = 150N/75kg

a = 2.0m/s²
