Question

Nikolas has a idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard. Nikolas, the fire extinguisher, and the skateboard have a combined mass of 50kg. What force would the fire extinguisher have to produce to propel nikolas if he wanted to accelerate at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2? Round your answer to the nearest whole newton. 60 N which of Newton’s laws did nikolas have to use to calculate this force

Answer 1

Answer:

second law

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is 60 N.

Solution:
Force = mass x acceleration
mass= 50 kg
acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2
Force = 50 kg x 1.2 m/s^2
Force = 60 kg m/s^2
Force = 60 N
