Answer:

D. 3.60 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the horizontal force acting on the wagon, which is given by:

\(F_x = F cos \theta=(44 N)(cos 35^{\circ})=36.0 N\)

And now we can calculate the wagon's acceleration by using Newton's second law:

\(a=\frac{F_x}{m}=\frac{36.0 N}{10 kg}=3.60 m/s^2\)
