After finding acceleration, it is found that 0.02 N of force is acting on the marble
<h3>
What is Force ?</h3>
Force can simply be defined as a pull or push. It is the product of mass and acceleration of the object. It is a vector quantity and it is measured in Newton.
Given that a steel marble with 0.05 kg of mass starts from rest and rolls down a ramp. It travels 0.25 m in 1.2 seconds.
The parameters to consider are;
Before we find the force acting on the marble, let us first find the acceleration by using the formula: s = ut + 1/2at²
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
0.25 = 0 + 1/2 × a × 1.2²
0.25 = 1/2 × a × 1.44
0.25 = 0.72a
a = 0.25/0.72
a = 0.35 m/s²
The force acting on the marble will be ;
F = ma
F = 0.05 × 0.35
F = 0.017
F = 0.02 N
Therefore, the force acting on the marble is 0.02 N
