Elijah, Anika, and Priya are having a friendly competition to see who can pull a 10 kg sled the fastest. Elijah manages to pull the sled with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. Can you help them calculate the tension in the rope Elijah used?

• Tension = 10 kg * (5 m/s^2 - 9.8 m/s^2) = -48 N

• Tension = 10 kg * (5 m/s^2 / 9.8 m/s^2) = 5.1 N

• Tension = 10 kg * (5 m/s^2 + 9.8 m/s^2) = 147.8 N

• Tension = 10 kg * (5 m/s^2) = 50 N

Imagine this scenario: Aria, Samuel, and Liam are at a science fair. They come across an experiment where a 15 kg mass is being pulled by a rope with an acceleration of 3 m/s^2. They start debating about the tension in the rope. Can you help them figure it out?

• Aria suggests: Tension = 15 kg * (3 m/s^2 - 9.8 m/s^2) = -102 N

• Samuel thinks: Tension = 15 kg * (3 m/s^2 / 9.8 m/s^2) = 4.6 N

• Liam argues: Tension = 15 kg * (3 m/s^2 + 9.8 m/s^2) = 204.6 N

• Or is it: Tension = 15 kg * (3 m/s^2) = 45 N?
