Question

Am object with a mass of 1298 kg is accelerating at a rate of 17 m/s2 when a net force is applied to it. What is the magnitude of the net force that is acting on the object? Could show how you did it please

Answer 1

Answer: 22,066N

Explanation:

By Newton's second Law of Motion, the force on an object is proprtional to the acceleration of the object. The proportionality constant is the mass of the object:

$F=ma$

Plug in the mass and accleration of the system:

$F=(1298kg)(17m/s^2)$

$F=22,066N$

The units for force are Newtons, or equivalently kg*m/s^2.
