Question

a 62 kg wave boarder is being pulled by a boat with a force of 124N. What is the acceleration of the wave boarder

Answer 1

Answer:

$Acceleration = 2m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

$Force = 124N$

$Mass = 62\ kg$

Required

Determine the acceleration

This will be calculated using force formula:

$Force = Mass * Acceleration$

Substitute values for Force and Mass

$124N = 62kg * Acceleration$

Divide both sides by 62kg

$Acceleration = \frac{124N}{62kg}$

$Acceleration = 2m/s^2$

Hence, the wave boarder accelerates at $2m/s^2$
