Question

Calculate the force needed to speed up a scooter with a rate of 8m/s2 if the mass of the car is 560kg

Answer 1

$\underline{\textbf{FORCE}}$

A force can be defined das the product of mass and acceleration.

A force is a push or pull that tends to move an object.

$\boxed{F = ma}$

F -----> $\textit {Force}$
m ----> $\textit {mass}$
a -----> $\textit {acceleration}$

Here, mass is 560kg

the acceleration is 8m/$s^2$

F = 560 X 8

= 4480 N

N refers to the unit of force NEWTON.
