if first man has a force of 500n what is in the second. if acceleration is 2m/s^2 what should be the force of the two to maintain the acceleration.
To solve this problem, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a), or F = m * a.
In the given scenario, let's assume that the first man's force is the net force acting on him and that the mass of both men is the same.
First, we need to find the mass (m). Rearranging the equation, we have m = F / a.
Given that the force of the first man is 500 N and the acceleration is 2 m/s^2, we can calculate the mass of both men as follows:
m = 500 N / 2 m/s^2 = 250 kg
Now, let's find the force of the two men combined to maintain the acceleration.
Since both men have the same mass, the force exerted by each man will be equal. Let's call this force F_total.
To find the total force, we need to multiply the mass (m) by the acceleration (a) using Newton's second law:
F_total = m * a
F_total = 250 kg * 2 m/s^2
F_total = 500 N
Therefore, the force of the two men combined to maintain the acceleration of 2 m/s^2 is 500 Newtons.
