Question

A worker is pushing a crate of tools up a ramp into a truck. The crate has a mass of 120 kg and is accelerating at a rate of 1.05 m/s^2. Once he finishes pushing that crate up, he then takes another crate that is 3 times as massive and pushes it up the ramp with an acceleration of 0.71 m/s^2. What is the ratio of the force the worker used on the on the 120 kg crate and the more massive crate?

Answer 1

B) 0.493

Step-by-step explanation:

First Crate

Formula: F=ma

120kg*1.05m/s^2= 126N

Second Crate

Formula: F=ma

3*120kg=360kg

360kg*0.71m/s^2=255.6

Find the ratio by dividing

120kg/255.6kg=0.4929

Round 0.4929=0.493

Hope this Helps!!
