Question

1. A student tests the second law of motion by accelerating a block of ice at a rate of 3 m/s².

If the ice has a mass of 12.6 kg, what is the force must the student apply to the ice?

Answer 1

Answer: 37.8 N

Step-by-step explanation:

F = ma (Newton's 2nd Law)

Force = mass x acceleration

F = (12.6 kg)(3 m/s2) = 37.8 N
