Question

How much force is required to accelerate an 8.6 kg wagon by 15 m/s2?

Answer 1

Explanation:

FORCE = MASS ( ACCELERTION)

FORCE = 8.6 × 15 N = 129N

Answer 2

The magnitude of the force required is 129N

GIVEN

Mass of the wagon = 8.6 kg

Acceleration of the wagon = 15m/s²

TO FIND

Magnitude of force required.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

From Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

Where,

F = Force required

m = mass of the wagon

a = acceleration

Putting the values in the above formula we get;

F = 8.6 × 15

= 129N

Hence, The magnitude of the force required is 129N
