The answer is d. (Btw this is high school? I just learned this a few months ago and I'm in the 8th grade.)

Answer:

Acceleration of the canoe is 0.7 m/s².

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the conoe, F = 156 N

Combined mass of, m = 220 kg

We have to find the acceleration of the canoe. It can be calculated suing second law of motion. Mathematically, it is given by :

F = m a

\(a=\dfrac{F}{m}\)

\(a=\dfrac{156\ N}{220\ kg}\)

a = 0.7 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the canoe is 0.7 m/s². Hence, the correct option is (d).
