A 2D Cartesian graph with a quantitative grid. The horizontal axis is labeled applied force F (N) with major tick marks at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16. The vertical axis is labeled acceleration a (m/s^2) with major tick marks at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Grid lines are spaced every 2 units horizontally and every 1 unit vertically. A single solid straight line begins at the horizontal intercept (6, 0) and extends upward and to the right with constant positive slope, passing exactly through the grid intersections (10, 2) and (14, 4), and terminating at (16, 5). No other curves, shaded regions, arrows, or text annotations appear.
Graph of acceleration versus applied force for the sliding block.
A student pulls a block horizontally across a rough horizontal surface by applying a horizontal force of variable magnitude \(F\). A motion sensor records the resulting acceleration \(a\) of the block as a function of \(F\) while the block is sliding. The resulting graph is shown. Assume the acceleration due to gravity is \(g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2\). Which of the following statements correctly interprets the graph to determine the physical properties of the block and surface?
