Question

If a 40 kg pumpkin is thrown through your neighbors window with an acceleration rate of 2 m/s, what’s the force you through it with?

Answer 1

80 newton

Step-by-step explanation:

F=ma so we now substitute our values I. E 40kg*2m/s=80 Newton

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 80 \ Newtons}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

`F=m*a`

The mass of the pumpkin is 40 kilograms.

The acceleration of the pumpkin is 2 meters per second squared.

`m= 40 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`F= 40 \ kg *2 \ m/s^2`

Multiply.

`F= 80 \ kg*m/s^2`

A kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Therefore, our answer of 80 kg*m/s² is also equal to 80 Newtons (N).

`F=80 \ N`

The force is 80 Newtons.
