Question

A 12 kg bowling ball would require what force to accelerate down and alleyway at a rate of 3 m/s²?

F=
M=
A=

What is the mass of a truck if it produces a a force of 12,000 N while accelerating at a rate of 4 m/s²?

F=
M=
A=

Answer 1

Part 1. F= m*a
M=12kg
A= 3 m/s^2

So F = 12kg * 3 m/s^2 which means
F=36 Newton’s

Part 2. F=12000N
M= F/A
A=4 m/s^2

So M= 12000N / 4 m/s^2
Which means M=3000 kg
