Question

How much force is needed to accelerate a 65 kg rider AND her 215 kg motor scooter 8 m/s?? (treat

the masses as like terms)

Answer 1

Force = 2240 Newton.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass A= 65kg

Mass B = 215kg

Acceleration = 8m/s²

To find the force;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

`F = ma`

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

First of all, we would have to find the total mass.

Total mass = Mass A + Mass B

Total mass = 65 + 215

Total mass = 280kg

Substituting into the equation, we have

`Force = 280 * 8`

Force = 2240 Newton.
