Question

if the Horse and Rider have a combined mass of 572 kg what force would be required to accelerate them 5 kph per second

Answer 1

Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Force required = Mass of horse x Acceleration of horse

Mass of horse and rider, m= 572 kg

Acceleration of horse and rider, a = 5 kph per second

`=(5*1000)/(60*60) =1.39 m/s^2`

Force required = ma

= 572 x 1.39 = 794.44 N

Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N
