An 80 kg long jumper in flight accelerates at a rate of 10 m/s2. What is the force of the long jumper?
To find the force of the long jumper, we can use the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Given:
Mass (m) = 80 kg
Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s²
Using the equation F = ma, we can substitute the values:
F = 80 kg * 10 m/s²
Calculating the multiplication:
F = 800 N
Therefore, the force of the long jumper is 800 N.
