Question

A theme park ride carriage with a mass off 1000kg when empty needs to be accelerated at 0.5m/s2 along a horizontal track. What force is required to accelertae the empty ride carriage

Answer 1

Answer:

Required force (F) = 500 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of carriage (m) = 1,000 kg

Acceleration (a) = 0.5 m/s²

Find:

Required force (F)

Computation:

Required force (F) = Mass × Acceleration

Required force (F) = 1,000 kg × 0.5 m/s²

Required force (F) = 500 kg-m/s²

Required force (F) = 500 N
