Question

a 62 kg wave boarder is being pulled by a boat with a force of 124N. What is the acceleration of the wave boarder

Answer 1

`Acceleration = 2m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Force = 124N`

`Mass = 62\ kg`

Required

Determine the acceleration

This will be calculated using force formula:

`Force = Mass * Acceleration`

Substitute values for Force and Mass

`124N = 62kg * Acceleration`

Divide both sides by 62kg

`Acceleration = (124N)/(62kg)`

`Acceleration = 2m/s^2`

Hence, the wave boarder accelerates at
`2m/s^2`
