Question

what net external force (in n) is exerted on a 1450-kg artillery shell fired from a battleship if the shell is accelerated at 2.20 ✕ 104 m/s2? (enter the magnitude.)

Answer 1

3.19×10⁷ N

Explanation:

You want the net force on a 1450 kg artillery shell accelerated at 2.2×10⁴ m/s².

Force

Force is the product of mass and acceleration:

F = ma

F = (1450 kg)(2.2×10⁴ m/s²) = 3.19×10⁷ N

The force exerted on the shell is 3.19×10⁷ N.
