Use this formula: a = F m
Take Note: 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 as follows:
F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Given:
m = 500 kg
a = 13.5 m/s^2
Using the formula, we can substitute the values and calculate the force:
F = (500 kg)(13.5 m/s^2)
F = 6750 N
Therefore, the extra force applied is 6750 Newtons.
To calculate the extra force applied, we can rearrange the given formula:
a = F/m
Where:
a = acceleration (13.5 m/s^2 in this case)
F = force (the extra force we want to find)
m = mass (500 kg in this case)
Now, substitute the given values into the formula:
13.5 = F / 500
To isolate the variable F, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 500:
13.5 * 500 = F
Solving this equation will give us the value of F, which represents the extra force applied:
F = 6750 N
Therefore, the extra force applied to the car and rider is 6750 Newtons.
