A tough kid on a tricycle has combined mass 32 kg. She starts from rest and travels 3.5 m in 2.5 s. What is the net force used to accelerate. (Hint: d=(1/2)at2)

Explanation:

Force = mass * acceleration (Newton's second law of motion)

Given

Mass = 32kg

Get the acceleration using the expression d = 1/2at^2

3.5 = 1/2 (a)2.5^2

3.5 = 3.125a

a = 3.5/3.125

a = 1.12m/s^2

Get the net force;

F =  3.2 * 1.12

F = 35.84N

Hence the net force used to accelerate is 35.84N
