Answer:
Explanation:
Im going to be using the rules for significant digits properly so I hope you're quite familiar with them. The equation we need for this is
F - f = ma where F is the applied force (our unknown), f is the frictional force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. Filling in:
F - 18.2 = 2.25(1.50) and
F = 2.25(1.50) + 18.2 Do the multiplication first and round to get
F = 3.38 + 18.2 The addition rules tell us that we will be rounding to the tenths place after we add to get
F = 21.6 N
