An 4.0-kg fish pulled upward by a fisherman rises 1.9 m in 2.4 s, starting
from rest. Assuming the acceleration is constant, find the magnitude
and direction of the net force acting on the fish during this interval.

Answer:

2.64N  

Explanation:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

mass = 4kg

distance = 1.9m

Time t = 2.4s

Get the acceleration using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2at²

1.9 = 0 + 1/2a(2.4)²

1.9 = 5.76a/2

1.9 = 2.88a

a = 1.9/2.88

a = 0.66m/s²

Get the magnitude of the force

Force = 4 * 0.66

Force = 2.64N

Hence the net force acting on the fish is 2.64N
