Question

how much force is needed to accelerate a 3080 kg var at a rate of 10 m/s2
30800 n
.032 n
8060 n
308 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's Second Law

Newton's second law of motion states that the force \( F \) acting on an object is equal to the mass \( m \) of the object multiplied by its acceleration \( a \), i.e., \( F = m \times a \).

Step2: Identify given values

The mass \( m = 3080 \, \text{kg} \) and the acceleration \( a = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Step3: Calculate the force

Substitute the given values into the formula: \( F = 3080 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
\[
F = 3080 \times 10 = 30800 \, \text{N}
\]

Answer:

30800 N
