Answer 2

Answer:

Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher = 50 kg

Acceleration of fire extinguisher = 1.2 m/s²

Find:

Force used by fire extinguisher = ?

Computation:

⇒ Force = Mass × Acceleration

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher × Acceleration of fire extinguisher

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 50 kg × 1.2 m/s²

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N
