Collision Forces.

A 500 kg object is accelerating at a rate of 15 meters per second, what is the force of the object (Hint: Use equation F=ma/Newton’s 2nd Law)?

1 answer

To find the force acting on an object, you can use Newton's second law of motion. According to Newton's second law, the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (a).

So the formula to calculate force is:
F = m * a

Plugging in the given values:
m = 500 kg
a = 15 m/s^2

F = 500 kg * 15 m/s^2
F = 7500 N

Therefore, the force acting on the object is 7500 Newtons.
