Question

A 52 kg water skier is being pulled by a speedboat. The force causes her to accelerate @ 2 m/s². How do i calculate theFORCE that causes the acceleration

Answer 1

Visualize this:
a mass is moved with a constant acceleration.
Mass times acceleration gives force.
Mass in kg and acceleration in m/s^2 multiplied gives newtons.

Answer 2

If acceleration is zero (0), then there is NO force present, the same as if there is NO mass.

Answer 3

If the mass is at rest, you need to provide some force and by doing so the mass acquires acceleration.

Answer 4

is it like this??

+simply multiply the two to get the force in N???
