A mass of 2.8 kg lies on a frictionless table,
pulled by another mass of 4.9 kg under the
influence of Earth's gravity.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:

17.15 m/s²

Explanation:

The formula for force is ;

F= m*a   where m is mass of object 1 and a is acceleration due to gravity

The force, F , used in pulling the mass is ;

4.9 * 9.8 =48.02 N

Applying the formula for force to get acceleration

F= m*a

48.02 = 2.8 * a

a= 48.02 / 2.8

a= 17.15 m/s²
