To find the force exerted by the sprinter, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = m * a).
Given:
mass (m) = 70 kg
acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²
Using the formula:
force (F) = mass (m) * acceleration (a)
Plugging in the values, we get:
F = 70 kg * 5 m/s²
F = 350 kg * m/s²
So, the force exerted by the sprinter is 350 kg * m/s².
A sprinter with a mass of 70 kg accelerates at a rate of 5 m/s2. What force is the sprinter exerting?
