Question

Miguel uses 3000 Newtons to push Ted in a wheelchair. Ted accelerates at 50 m/s2 before slowing down to turn a corner. What is the mass of Ted and the wheelchair?​

Answer 1

Answer:

mass of Ted and Wheelchair is 60kgs.

Explanation:

Force (F)= mass (m) × acceleration (a)

we can say

Force/Acceleration =Mass

Given data

F=3000N

a=50m/s²

m=?

so ,

m= 3000/50

Mass= 60kgs

Answer 2

Given: Miguel uses 3000 N to push Ted in a wheelchair. Ted accelerates at 50 ms⁻².

To find: The mass of Ted and the wheelchair.

Solution:

• Force applied on a body is a cause that changes or tends to change its state of rest or of motion.
• It is given by the formula,

        $F = m * a$

• Here, F is the force applied on Ted in a wheelchair, m is the mass and a is the acceleration of the body.

        $3000 N = m * 50ms^{-2}$

• On rearranging, the value of m is found to be equal to,

        $m = \frac{3000}{50}$

             $= 60 kg$

Therefore, the mass of Ted and the wheelchair is 60 kg.
