Answer:
Force = mass × acceleration.
Answer:
a = 0.8 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the resulting force on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration, in this way we come to the following equation:
∑F = m*a
where:
F = forces applied [N]
m = mass = 1000 [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
Now using Newton's second law.

Answer:
2.49 seconds
Explanation:
From the question,
a = (v-u)/t............................ Equation 1
Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time
Make t the subject of the equation
t = (v-u)/a.......................... Equation 2
Given: v = 6.5 m/s, u = 11 m/s, a = -1.81 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 2
t = (6.5-11)/(-1.81)
t = -4.5/-1.81
t = 2.49 s
