Question

according to this equation f equals Ma how much force is needed to accelerate a 70 kg runner at 5 m/s^2.

Answer 1

ANSWER
The required force is

`350N`

Step-by-step explanation

The force needed to accelerate a 70kg runner at
`5ms^(-2)` is the product of the mass of the runner in kilograms and the acceleration in meters per seconds square.

The equation is given by,


`F=ma`

where


`m = 70kg`
and


`a=5m{s}^(-2)`

This implies that,


`F=70* 5N`

We multiply to get,


`F=350N`

Therefore the needed force is 350 Newtons.
