Question

please help asap
What is the force of a a bowl with a mass of 3 kg accelerating at a speed of 18 kg/s/s?

Answer 1

is that a typo? where it says kg/s/s

is it supposed to say m/s/s or m/s^2?

Answer 2

no its not please help

Answer 3

nevermind

Answer 4

well honestly the units for the acceleration make no sense. I'm going to assume they meant to write "m/s/s" which is the same as "m/s^2"


force = mass * acceleration

f = ma

f = (3 kg)*(18 m/s^2)

f = (3*18) (kg*m/s^2)

f = 54 N

so the force is 54 newtons. A newton is equivalent to the unit "kg*m/s^2"

I'm using newton's second law
