Bot GPT 4-o mini To calculate the force required to accelerate Zeke on his skateboard, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:
\[ F = m \times a \]
Where:
- \( F \) is the force in newtons (N),
- \( m \) is the mass in kilograms (kg),
- \( a \) is the acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s²).
Given:
- \( m = 50 , \text{kg} \)
- \( a = 0.8 , \text{m/s}^2 \)
Now, plug in the values:
\[ F = 50 , \text{kg} \times 0.8 , \text{m/s}^2 \]
\[ F = 40 , \text{N} \]
So, the force required for Zeke to accelerate at 0.8 m/s² is 40 N.
The correct answer is b) 40 N.
