Lillian pulls on a 10-kg wagon with a constant force of 30 N. What is the wagon's acceleration? A) 0.3 m/s2 B) 3.0 m/s2 C) 10 m/s2 D) 30 m/s2 E) 300 m/s2 22. The friction force always acts A) Same the direction to motion B) Opposite to the direction of motion C) none of the aboveExplanation / Answer
16.
B) acceleration
Since, F = m *a; so for constant mass: F is directly proportional to a, which means if F is constant a will also be constant
17.
B) double
Since, F is directly proportional to a. So, doubling F will lead to doubling a.
18.
B) 2 m/s2
Since, F = m*a
so,
a = F/m
a = 20/10
a = 2 m/s2
19.
D) all of the above
Since, object is at rest, its velocity is zero. Hence, acceleration is zero
Since object is moving with constant velocity, so no change in velocity implies no acceleration, since acceleration is defined as rate of change of velocity
Since, object is in equilibrim, which means Fnet = 0 on the object. So, if net force is 0, acceleration is 0, from F = m*a.
20.
A) the same as that of 1-kg book
Since, all object fall under same acceleration due to gravity, which has a constant value 9.8 m/s2 everywhere.
So, the objects will fall under same acceleration irrespective of their masses. We can't generally see this phenomena in day to day life because of air resistance and other environment factors.

B) 3 m/s2
Since, a = F/m
a = 30/10
a = 3 m/s2
22.
B) opposite to the direction of motion
Since, friction always opposes motion. It'll always act in the opposite direction of motion.
