A Block Is on a Frictionless Table, on Earth $\mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }$

question 24

Multiple Choice

A block is on a frictionless table, on earth. The block accelerates at 5.3 m/ $\mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }$ when a $10 \mathrm {~N}$ horizontal force is applied to it. The block and table are set up on the Moon where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.62 m/ $\mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }$ . A horizontal force of 5 N is now applied to the block when it is on the Moon. The acceleration imparted to the block by this force is closest to

• A)2.7 m/ \(\mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }\) .
• B)2.4 m/ \(\mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }\) .
• C)2.9 m/ \(\mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }\) .
• D)3.2 m/ \(\mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }\) .
• E)3.4 m/ \(\mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }\) .
