16. an object has a mass of 13.5 kilograms. what force is required to accelerate it to a rate of 9.5 m/s2? a. 81.00 n b. 173.75 n c. 132.30 n d. 128.25 n

D. 128.25 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on an object and the acceleration of the object are related by the following equation (Newton's second law):

where

F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we know:

- The mass of the object: m = 13.5 kg

- The acceleration: a = 9.5 m/s^2

Therefore, we can find the force required to give the object this acceleration:

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
