Question

if the Horse and Rider have a combined mass of 572 kg what force would be required to accelerate them 5 kph per second

Answer 1

Answer:

   Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N

Explanation:

 Force required = Mass of horse x Acceleration of horse

 Mass of horse and rider, m=   572 kg

 Acceleration of horse and rider, a = 5 kph per second

                                      $=\frac{5*1000}{60*60} =1.39 m/s^2$

  Force required = ma

                             = 572 x 1.39 = 794.44 N

  Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N
