If a bicycle rider and her bicycle have a mass of 50kg, how much force is needed to provide an accerlation of 0.7m/s (squared)
Force on the tire /pavement:
F= m*a
I don't understand.. ;(
Multiply mass times acceleration to get the force.
a molecule having slightly negative and positive ends with regard to change.
To calculate the force needed to provide an acceleration, you need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).
In this case, the mass of the bicycle rider and the bicycle is given as 50 kg, and the acceleration is given as 0.7 m/s^2.
So, to find the force, you can use the formula:
F = m * a
Substituting the given values:
F = 50 kg * 0.7 m/s^2
Now, you need to perform the calculation:
F = 35 kg*m/s^2
The unit of force is called a Newton (N), so the force needed to provide an acceleration of 0.7 m/s^2 for a mass of 50 kg is 35 N.
