A roller coaster begins at the top of a hill. If it accelerates at the rate of 2 m/s and has a mass of 2000 kg, what net force is acting on it? (Force=mass x acceleration)(1 point)Responses1000 N1000 N4000 N4000 N0.001 N0.001 N0.5 N

Answer 1

To find the net force acting on the roller coaster, you can use Newton's second law, which states that Force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a).

Here, the mass (m) of the roller coaster is 2000 kg, and the acceleration (a) is 2 m/s².

Using the formula:

\[ F = m \times a \]

Substituting the values:

\[ F = 2000 , \text{kg} \times 2 , \text{m/s}^2 \]

\[ F = 4000 , \text{N} \]

Thus, the net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 N.
