A force of 6.0 N is applied horizontally to a 3.0 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. After the crate if pushed for 1.5 seconds, it has a
velocity of 3.0 m/s. Does this support Newton's second law of motion, that force
equals mass times acceleration?
Force of 6.0 N
3.0 kg crate
a. Yes, because the acceleration of the crate is 2.0 m/s^2
b. Yes, because the mass and the velocity of the crate are equal.
c. No, because the acceleration of the crate is 2.0 m/s^2.
d. No, because the mass and the velocity of the crate are equal.
