Question

a 15 kg bowling ball accelerates at 4.0 m/s^2. what is the magnitude of the net force (fnet) required to cause this acceleration? 4 n 60 n 19 n 3.75 n

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Use Newton's second - law $F = ma$.

Step2: Substitute values

$m = 15$ kg, $a=4.0$ m/s², so $F=15\times4$.

Step3: Calculate the force

$F = 60$ N.

Answer:

60 N
