an object with a mass of 50kg is hurled at an acceleration rate of 30 m/s2. How much force was applied to the object?
To calculate the force applied to an object, you need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). In this case, the mass of the object is 50 kg, and the acceleration it experiences is 30 m/s^2.
The formula for calculating force can be expressed as:
F = m * a
Plugging in the given values:
F = 50 kg * 30 m/s^2
Calculating the result:
F = 1500 kg.m/s^2
The unit kg.m/s^2 is equivalent to a Newton (N), so the total force applied to the object is 1500 Newtons.
