Question

A child on a scooter with a combined mass of 35 kg accelerates down a hill at a rate of 10 m/s2. What is the net force acting on the child scooter?

Answer 1

Answer:

${ \tt{force = mass \times acceleration}} \\ { \tt{force = 35 \times 10}} \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: force = 350 \: newtons \: }}}$

Answer 2

• Mass=m=35kg
• Acceleration=a=10m/s^2
• Force=F

Apply Newton's second law

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow F=ma$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow F=35(10)$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow F=350N$
