Force = mass x acceleration
Mass is given to be 250kg
Acceleration is given to be 5m/s^2
Force = 250kg x 5m/s^2 = 1,250 kgm/s^2 = 1,250 Newtons
Twice the distance to double an impact
A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,
F = G*((m sub 1*m sub 2)/r^2)
