Solution

First, let's use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, this is represented as:

F = m * a

where: F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.

Given in the problem, F = 8.8 N and m = 4 kg. We can solve for a:

a = F / m a = 8.8 N / 4 kg a = 2.2 m/s²

Now, if the net force is doubled, the new force F' = 2 * 8.8 N = 17.6 N.

We can find the new acceleration a' using the same formula:

a' = F' / m a' = 17.6 N / 4 kg a' = 4.4 m/s²

So, if the net force is doubled, the new acceleration of the sled is 4.4 m/s².

This problem has been solved
