wile e coyote pushes a 1500n rock toward the edge of a cliff with the road runner below. he gives a rock acceleration of .8m/s. what is the net force of the rcok?
m*g = 1500 N.
m = 1500/g = 1500/9.8 = 153 kg = Mass of
the rock.
a = 0.8m/s^2.
F = m*a = 153 * 0.8 = 122.4 N.
To find the net force acting on the rock, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration:
Net force = mass × acceleration
However, the mass of the rock is not given in the question. To solve this, we need to use the formula for force:
Force = mass × acceleration
Rearranging the formula, we can solve for mass:
Mass = Force / acceleration
Given that the force is 1500 N and the acceleration is 0.8 m/s², we can substitute these values into the equation:
Mass = 1500 N / 0.8 m/s²
Mass = 1875 kg
Now that we have the mass of the rock, we can find the net force by substituting the mass and acceleration back into Newton's second law:
Net force = mass × acceleration
Net force = 1875 kg × 0.8 m/s²
Net force = 1500 N
Therefore, the net force acting on the rock is 1500 N.
