Answer:
160,000 N
Explanation:
Given:
m = 320,000 kg
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = constant
t = 57 s
Δx = 810 m
Find: Fnet
Apply Newton's second law:
∑F = ma
Fnet = ma
To find Fnet, we must first find the acceleration.
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
810 m = 0 m + (0 m/s) (57 s) + ½ a (57 s)²
a = 0.50 m/s²
Fnet = (320,000 kg) (0.50 m/s²)
Fnet = 160,000 N
