Question

a roller coaster begins at the top of a hill if it acelerates at the rate of 2 m/s2 and has a mass of 2000 kg what net force is acting on it plzzz someone help im over here crying bc i dont know

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4000 \ Newtons }}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

`F=m*a`

The mass of the roller coaster is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

`m= 2000 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`F= 2000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2`

Multiply.

`F= 4000 \ kg*m/s^2`

• 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 N
• Therefore our answer of 4000 kg*m/s² is equal to 4000 Newtons

`F= 4000 \ N`

The net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 Newtons.
