A 3.6 kg object is accelerated from rest to a

speed of 34.4 m/s in 42 s.
What average force was exerted on the object during this period of acceleration?
Answer in units of N

1 answer

average acceleration = change in speed / change it time

= (34.4 - 0) / (42 - 0 )

= .819 m/s^2

Force = mass * acceleration = 3.6 *.819 = 2.95 Newtons
