Question

a shopping bag can provide an upward force of 65N before breaking. A shopper puts 5 kg of groceries in the bag. If the shopper tries to lift the bag with an upward acceleration of 2 m/s/s, will the bag break?

Answer 1

Since Force is Mass * Acceleration, the equation would be:

5kg * 2m^2 = 10N

(10N is less than 65N)

Therefore, it would not be enough force for the bag to break.
