How much force is needed to accelerate a 66kg skier 1 m/sec/sec?
The force needed to accelerate an object can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.
Given:
Mass (m) = 66 kg
Acceleration (a) = 1 m/sec^2
Using the formula:
Force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a)
Substitute the values:
F = 66 kg x 1 m/s^2
F = 66 N
Therefore, the force needed to accelerate a 66kg skier at 1 m/sec^2 is 66 Newtons.
