Question

Nikolas, the fire extinguisher, and the skateboard have a combined mass of 50 kg. What force would the fire extinguisher have to produce to propel nikolas if he wanted to accelerate at a rate of 1.2 m/s squared

Answer 1

Force=60 N

Hope this helps ya'll!

Answer 2

Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher = 50 kg

Acceleration of fire extinguisher = 1.2 m/s²

Find:

Force used by fire extinguisher = ?

Computation:

⇒ Force = Mass × Acceleration

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher × Acceleration of fire extinguisher

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 50 kg × 1.2 m/s²

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N
