Question

1. what force would be needed to make a 10 kg bowling ball accelerate down the alleyway with an acceleration of 3 m/s²?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

Newton's second law is \(F = ma\), where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 10\space kg\) and \(a=3\space m/s^{2}\). Substitute into \(F = ma\), so \(F=(10\space kg)\times(3\space m/s^{2})\).

Step3: Calculate the force

\(F = 30\space N\)

Answer:

\(30\space N\)
