Question

What net force is required to cause a 75 kg bicycle and its rider to accelerate

at a rate of 2.0 m/s2?

Answer 1

Answer: 150

Explanation: ape-x

Answer 2

`\boxed{\text{150 N}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

F = ma

Data:

m = 75 kg

a = 2.0 m/s²

Calculation:

`\begin{array}{rcl}F & = & \text{75 kg }* \text{2.0 m $\cdot$ s$^(-2)$}\\& = & \textbf{150 N}\\\end{array}\\\text{The net force needed is }\boxed{\textbf{150 N}}`
