Use this formula: a = F m
Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2
A 500 kg car and rider accelerate at 13.5 m/s^2. How much extra force was applied?
To find the extra force applied, we can rearrange the formula a = F/m to solve for force (F).
Given:
Acceleration (a) = 13.5 m/s^2
Mass of the car and rider (m) = 500 kg
Using the rearranged formula F = a * m, we can substitute the given values:
F = 13.5 m/s^2 * 500 kg
F = 6750 N
Therefore, the extra force applied is 6750 Newtons.
To find the extra force applied, we can rearrange the formula a = F/m to solve for force (F):
F = m x a
Given that the mass (m) of the car and rider is 500 kg, and the acceleration (a) is 13.5 m/s^2, we can substitute these values into the formula:
F = 500 kg x 13.5 m/s^2
F = 6750 kg⋅m/s^2
So, the extra force applied is 6750 kg⋅m/s^2.
