To find the net force acting on the roller coaster, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (a).
Given:
Mass of the roller coaster (m) = 2000 kg
Acceleration of the roller coaster (a) = 2 m/s²
Using the formula:
F = m * a
Plugging in the values:
F = 2000 kg * 2 m/s²
Calculating:
F = 4000 kg⋅m/s²
Hence, the net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 kg⋅m/s².
A roller coaster begins at the top of a hill if it accelerates at the rate of 2 Ms and has a mass of 2,000 kg what net force is acting on it
