Hey! Since we got the mass of the basketball star as well as the acceleration. We can use Newton's Second Law to figure out the amount of force he is exerting.

F = ma
F = (120)(2.5)
F = 300N

Therefore, he is exerting 300N of force.

Answer: Hope this Helps...

Explanation:

Force may be defined as the cause of motion and deformation. When a force is applied to an object, the object either moves or changes shape or both. In most cases, it is not possible to detect the deformation by naked eyes at the molecular or atomic level. Deformation occurs no matter how small.

For example, a car moving along a straight and horizontal highway, experiences an engine force Fe, while being opposed by an overall frictional force, Ff ( road friction as well as air resistance). If the car is moving to the right and to the right is taken to be the positive direction, then Fe acts to the right and Ff acts to the left. The net force is ΣF = Fe - Ff .

Answer:

20 N to the left

Explanation:

For the first question, add the two forces as they are acting in the same direction.

So, 8 + 12 = 20 N to the left
