Answer: 1.58 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Applied force = 132 N

Mass of sled = 83.3 kg

Rate of acceleration of sled =?

F = mass × acceleration ( Newton's 2nd law of motion)

F = Net force

Inputing the values :

F = mass × acceleration

132 = 83.3 × acceleration

acceleration = 132 / 83.3

Acceleration = 1.5846338

Acceleration = 1.58 m/s^2
