Answer:
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
