a roller coaster begins at the top of a hill if it acelerates at the rate of 2 m/s2 and has a mass of 2000 kg what net force is

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4000 \ Newtons }}$

Explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

$F=m*a$

The mass of the roller coaster is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

$m= 2000 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$F= 2000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 4000 \ kg*m/s^2$

1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 N
Therefore our answer of 4000 kg*m/s² is equal to 4000 Newtons

$F= 4000 \ N$

The net force acting on the roller coaster is <u>4000 Newtons.</u>
