Question

Use Newton’s second law (Fnet = ma) to answer each question. SHOW ALL YOUR WORK, including the units! 1N = 1 kg m/s2

A comet with a mass of 7.5 kg accelerates 8.3 m/s2 when an unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of force? Would a space pod with a mass of 4.7 kg accelerating at 9.8 m/s2 have more force than the comet?

Answer 1

Explanation:

f=ma

f=7.5×8.3

f=62.25 n will be the force of comet

for space pod force will be less than comet
