Answered

the maximum force that a grocery bag can withstand without ripping is 250 n. suppose that the bag is filled with 20 kg of groceries, and lifted with an acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. do the groceries stay in the bag? justify your answer with calculations.



Answer :

Yes, the groceries stay in the bag

What is newton's second law?

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that when a force acts on a mass, the mass will speed up (object). This law of motion can be seen at work when you ride your bike. The mass is your bike. The force is your leg muscles pushing on the pedals of your bike.

We calculate the force that is exerted on the bag using Newton's second law, which states that,

F= ma

m is the mass of the object in kilograms

a is the acceleration of the object in meters per second squared. And so, we got:

F= 20kg X 5 m^2

= 100 N

So, a force of 100 newtons is exerted on the bag. Since that is less than the required 250 newtons needed to rip the bag, then the bag doesn't rip, and so the groceries stay in the bag, due to the normal force exerted on them by the bag.
