Question

A motorbike and its rider have a mass of 275 kg. If they experience an acceleration of 4.50 m/s?,
what force was exerted on them?

Answer 1

Answer:

1237.5N

Explanation:

Recall that F = ma ........1

Where F is the applied force in Newton

M is the mass in kg

And a is the acceleration in meter per seconds.

F = ?

Mass = 275kg

a = 4.50 m/s^2

Substituting the values into equation 1

F = 275kg × 4.50 m/s^2

F = 1237.5N

The force exerted on them will be 1237.5N
