What net force is required to push a sofa with a mass of 59 kilograms so that it accelerates at 9.75 meters/secondÆ? (Assume a flat, frictionless surface.) A. 6.1 B. 5.9 C. 5.8 X10^2 D. 6.0 X 10^2

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

\[F=ma\]\[F=(59kg)(9.75 \frac{m}{s^2})\] So what does F = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FORCE

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

lol...got that. The question was for you to solve the equation I posted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HOW DO I DO THAT LOL?

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

59 * 9.75 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

575.25 I GOT

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

Yes, now which answer is closest to that in your multiple choice question?

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

(think significant figures)

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

C :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL I WAS CLOSE

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

heh off by one letter!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL YEP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f=ma f=59x9.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Didn't I just explain the formula to you? tsk tsk..
