Question

What amount if force need to be applied to a 20 kg bowling ball to give it an acceleration of 5m/s

Answer 1

100N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the bowling ball = 20kg

Acceleration = 5m/s²

Unknown:

Amount of force applied = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply newton's second law of motion.

Force = mass x acceleration

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Force = 20 x 5 = 100N
