Question

there is a relationship between the net force, mass and the acceleration of an object represented by the equation: $f = ma$. a 50 kg skater pushed by a friend accelerates 5 m/s². how much force did the friend apply? newtons

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

$m = 50$ kg, $a=5$ m/s²

Step2: Apply Newton's second - law formula

$F = ma$
Substitute $m = 50$ kg and $a = 5$ m/s² into the formula: $F=50\times5$

Step3: Calculate the force

$F = 250$ N

Answer:

250
