The net force on the bike and the rider is 120 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that:

F = ma

where

F is the net force exerted on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

For the bike and the rider in this problem, we have

m = 60 kg is their combined mass

$a=2.0 m/s^2$ is their acceleration

Therefore, the net force on them is

$F=(60)(2.0)=120 N$
