Question

A motorcycle has a mass of 240 kg and accelerates at a rate of 4 m/s2

Work out the driving force of the motorcycle.
Solution:
Using
F = m a
F = 240 x 4
F = 960 N​

Answer 1

960N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the motorcycle = 240kg

Acceleration of the motorcycle = 4m/s²

Unknown:

Driving force of the motorcycle = ?

Solution:

According to the Newton's second law of motion "the force on a body is the product of mass and acceleration".

Force = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and solve;

Force = 240 x 4 = 960N
