Sully is riding a snowmobile on a flat, snow-covered surface with a constant velocity of 10 meters/second. The total mass of the snowmobile, including Sully, is 280 kilograms. If Sully accelerates to a velocity of 16 meters/second over 10 seconds, what’s the force exerted by the snowmobile to accelerate? Use F = ma, where . 160 N 168 N 248 N 280 N 324 N

Answer: 168N

16 - 10 = 6
6 / 10 = .6
F = 280 x .6 = 168

16 - 10 = 6
6 / 10 = .6 (this sign / means to divide)
F = 280 x .6 = 168
