A 153 kg small boat and a 250 kg larger boat are at rest at the center of a lake. A rower from the larger boat pushes the smaller boat with 78 N of force. What was the resulting magnitude of the acceleration of each boat?

Small Boat = 0.510 $$\frac{m}{s^2}$$ , Large Boat = 0.312 $$\frac{m}{s^2}$$

Small Boat = 1.96 $$\frac{m}{s^2}$$ , Large Boat = 3.21 $$\frac{m}{s^2}$$

Small Boat = 1.96 $$\frac{m}{s^2}$$ , Large Boat = 0.312 $$\frac{m}{s^2}$$

Small Boat = 0.312 $$\frac{m}{s^2}$$ , Large Boat = 0.510 $$\frac{m}{s^2}$$

How does a net force affect moving and nonmoving objects?

an object at rest remains at rest as long as no net force acts on it

an object moving with constant velocity continues to move with the same speed in the same direction as long as no net force acts on it

an object at rest remains moving as long as no net force acts on it

an object moving with velocity moves with speed in no specific direction when net forces act on it

How are force, mass, and acceleration related?

force is equal to mass times acceleration

mass is equal to the amount of force times acceleration

force is equal to mass divided by time multiplied by the acceleration

acceleration is equal to mass times the force

Which statement describes an object in equilibrium?

an object in equilibrium is subject to zero net force

an object in equilibrium isn't moving

an object in equilibrium has a force equal to the Earths gravitational force

an object in equilibrium has balanced forces, causing it to float in the air
