Question

(1) A net force of 265 N accelerates a bike and rider at 2.30 m/s. What is the mass of the

Answer 1

Answer: 115.2kg

Explanation:

Net force = 265 N

Acceleration of bike & rider = 2.30m/s2 (The SI unit of acceleration is m/s2)

Mass of the bike and rider together = ?

Since force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves, Force = Mass x Acceleration

265N = Mass x 2.30m/s2

Mass = (265N/2.30m/s2)

Mass = 115.2 kg

Thus, the Mass of the bike and rider together is 115.2kg
