Explanation / Answer

(B) We can calculate the acceleration from the graph
acceleration = Change in velocity / change in time = 0.2 /0.2 = 1 m/s2
hence the net thrust force will be
FT = ma = (25*10-3)1 = 0.025 N
Now when we compare it with the weight of scallop
= FT / weight = 0.025/0.25 = 1/10
hence the correct option is 1/10 of the weight of the scallop .
