Question 21 • TX-Physics A

What is the acceleration along the ground of a 10 kg wagon when it is pulled with a force of 44 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal?

Answer
A
0.23 m/s2
B
0.28 m/s2
C
2.52 m/s2
D
3.60 m/s2

Explanation

Only the horizontal component of the pulling force accelerates the wagon along the ground. That component is 44 cos(35°) ≈ 36.0 N, so the acceleration is 36.0 N ÷ 10 kg = 3.60 m/s². The correct choice is 3.60 m/s².
