A person with a black belt in taekwondo has a foot with a mass of 0.90 kg. Starting from rest, this foot attains a velocity of 8.3 m/s in 0.13 s. What is the magnitude of the average net force applied to the foot to obtain that acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer:

57.42 N

Explanation:

We first find the acceleration knowing that it goes from rest to 8.3 m/s in 0.13 seconds,

Therefore, the acceleration is:

[tex]a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{time} =\frac{8.3-0}{0.13 } =63.8\,\,m/s^2[/tex]

Now we use this to calculate the average net force by multiplying mass times acceleration:

F = m * a = 0.9 (63.8) = 57.42 N
