In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 36.6 m/s in a time of 8.22 s. The mass of the car and riders is 3.94 × 103 kg. Find the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets.

Answer 1

a = (36.6 m/s)/(8.22 s) = 4.45 m/s^2

F = ma

Answer 2

F=ma
F=4.45*3.94*10^3
