a. As you coast down a hill on your bicycle, you accelerate at 0.5 m/s2. If the total mass of your body and the bicycle is 80 kilograms what is the net force pulling you down the hill (gravity - friction)?

Respuesta :

According to Newton’s second law of motion:
F=ma
=80*0.5
=40N

The net force pulling you down the hill will be = 40 N

What is Newton's Second Law of motion?

The Second Law of motion states that the acceleration of an object depend upon the object and the mass of the object.

F = Mass * acceleration

Given

Total mass  : 80 kg

Acceleration : 0.5 m / s^2

Net Force = mass * acceleration      (Second Law of motion )

Net Force = 80 * 0.5  = 40 N

 The net force pulling you down the hill will be = 40 N
