The acceleration of the wagon along the ground is 3.6 m/s².

To solve the problem above, we need to use the formula of acceleration as related to force and mass.

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

⇒ Formula:

  • Fcos∅ = ma................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • F = Force
  • ∅ = angle above the horizontal
  • m = mass of the wagon
  • a = acceleration of the wagon

⇒ make a the subject of equation 1

  • a = Fcos∅/m..................... Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • F = 44 N
  • ∅ = 35°
  • m = 10 kg

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • a = 44(cos35°)/10
  • a = 44(0.8191)/10
  • a = 3.6 m/s²

Hence, The acceleration of the wagon along the ground is 3.6 m/s²
