Question

2. Another car weighs 2000kg, you can push it .05 m/s?, how much force are you

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100 \ Newtons}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to calculate the force you are applying to a car. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. Therefore, we can use the following formula to calculate force.

$F= m \times a$

The mass of the car is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 0.5 meters per second squared.

• m= 2000 kg
• a= 0.05 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

$F= 2000 \ kg \times 0.05 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 100 \ kg *m/s^2$

Convert the units. 1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Our answer of 100 kilogram meters per second square is equal to 100 Newtons.

$F= 100 \ N$

You apply 100 Newtons of force to the car.
