The net force needed to cause this acceleration on the student is 80 N.
What is the net force acting on the body to cause the students to accelerate at 2.m/s²?
Force is a defined as any push or pull agent that cause a change in the state of rest or motion of a body.
This force that brings about these changes is known as a net force since they are unbalanced by an equal oppositely directed reaction force.
Net forces cause a body at rest to move or a moving body to stop or change direction.
- Force = mass * acceleration
mass of the boy = 4 kg
acceleration on the boy = 2 m/s²
Net force on the boy = 40 kg * 2 m/s²
Net force on the boy = 80 N
