Acceleration of the table: B. 0.50 meters/second2
Explanation:
The problem can be solved by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is the product of its mass and its acceleration. Mathematically:
[tex]\sum F = ma[/tex]
where
[tex]\sum F[/tex] is the net force
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
For the table in this problem, we have:
[tex]\sum F = 125 N - 120 N = 5 N[/tex] is the net force on the table, because there are two forces of 125 N and 120 N acting in opposite directions
m = 10.0 kg is the mass of the table
Solving for a, we find the acceleration:
[tex]a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{5}{10.0}=0.50 m/s^2[/tex]
