Question

Your bike gets a flat tire. Its mass is 10 kg and you are able to accelerate your bike .5 m/s/s. What is the force on the bike..

Answer 1

Answer:

50N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the bike   = 10kg

Acceleration  = 5m/s²  

Unknown:

Force on the bike  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply Newton's second law of motion.

  Force  = mass x acceleration

 Force  = 10 x 5 = 50N
