    Part A)

    B. 0.4 N

    Part B)

    C. 5 m/s²

    Explanation:

    Part A)

    Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration

    F = ma ... Equation 1

    Where F = force of the blood, m = mass of the blood, a = acceleration of the blood.

    Also,

    a = (v-u) / t ... Equation 2

    Substituting equation 2 into equation 1

    F = m (v-u) / t ... Equation 3

    Where v = initial velocity, u = final velocity, t = time.

    Given: v = 1 m/s u = 0 m/s (from rest) t = 0.2 s, m = 80 g = 0.08 kg.

    Substitute into equation 3

    F = 0.08 (1-0) / 0.2

    F = 0.08/0.2

    F = 0.4 N

    The right option is B. 0.4 N

    Part B)

    Acceleration: This is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

    a = (v-u) / t

    Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

    Given: v = 1 m/s u = 0 m/s (from rest), t = 0.2 s.

    Substitute into the equation above,

    a = (1-0) / 0.2

    a = 1/0.2

    a = 5 m/s²

    The right option is C. 5 m/s²
