Question

A rat is pushed with a massive force. The mass of the rat is 2.3 kg and the acceleration of the rat is 9.5 m/s^2. What was the force applied to the rat?
21.85 N
4.1 m/s^2
0.24 N
22 N

Answer 1

Answer:

Force = 21.85N

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.3kg

Acceleration = 9.5m/s²

To find the force;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Substituting into the equation, we have

Force = 2.3 * 9.5

Force = 21.85N

Therefore, the force applied to the rat is 21.85 Newton.
