As a 3.0 kg bucket is being lowered into a 10 m deepwell, starting from top, the tension in the rope is 9.8 N. theacceleration of the bucket will be:A) 6.5 m/s2 downwardB) 9.8 m/s2 downwardC) zeroD) 3.3 m/s2 upwardE) 5.6 m/s2 upward

A) 6.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Mass of the bucket, m = 3.0 kg

depth of the well, d = 10 m

tension on the rope, T = 9.8 N

The net downward force on the bucket is given as;

T = mg - ma

where;

a is downward acceleration of the bucket

9.8 = (3 x 9.8) - 3a

9.8 = 29.4 - 3a

3a = 29.4 - 9.8

3a = 19.6

a = 19.6 / 3

a = 6.53 m/s² downwards

Therefore, the acceleration of the bucket is 6.53 m/s² downwards
