Force = mass x acceleration

F = ma In the problem we know the force exerted, the mass and the acceleration.

F = 500 N

m = 50 kg

a = 9 m/s2

How much force was needed to get a 50 kg object to accelerate at 9 m/s2?

Use the formula.

F = ma

    =50 x 9

    =450 N

Force applied = 500 N

Friction Force = 500 - 450

                    =50 N

How does friction affect newton's third law?

Friction is encompassed by Newton's laws, as opposed to operating out side of it. If a block slides down a wedge, there is friction acting against the block up the slope. From the wedge's perspective, the block produces a frictional force against it, trying to drag it downwards along the slope.


How is it true that that if earth pulls on a grapefruit with a force of 1 newton the grapefruit also exerts a force of 1 newton on Earth?

It is true. Such forces always come in pairs. (This is related to Conservation of Momentum.) Of course, the effect of such a force on the Earth - the amount Earth accelerates, if you release the grapefruit - will be much less than the effect on the grapefruit (by Newton's Second Law).


When is all three of newtons laws applied in running?

In running, Newton's laws of motion are applied as follows: The first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force, such as friction between the foot and the ground. The second law explains how the force applied when pushing off the ground accelerates the runner forward. The third law is seen when the foot exerts a force on the ground, and the ground exerts an equal and opposite force propelling the runner forward.


Which of Newton's law states that when one object exerts a force on a second object the second object exerts a force back?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object.


What is the force a 800N man exerts on the earth?

The force that an 800N man exerts on the Earth is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that the Earth exerts on the man, by Newton's third law. So, the force the man exerts on the Earth is 800N.

What does a newton maesure?

A newton is a measure of force. The force that accelerates 1 kilogram by 1 meter / second2 is defined as 1 newton.


Why does newton accelerate more than the elephant?

Newton accelerates more than the elephant because acceleration is determined by the force applied relative to mass, according to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). If Newton exerts a greater force relative to his mass compared to the elephant, he will experience a higher acceleration. Additionally, because the elephant has a much larger mass, it requires a significantly greater force to achieve the same acceleration as Newton.

What is the force a 800N man exerts on the earth?

The force that an 800N man exerts on the Earth is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that the Earth exerts on the man, by Newton's third law. So, the force the man exerts on the Earth is 800N.


What is the SI unit for Friction?

[Simple Explanation]As friction is a force and the S.I. unit of force is Newton,the S.I. unit of friction is Newton.[Derivative Explanation]F=µN,where F is Frictional force,µ is coefficient of friction,and N is net normal reaction.N = -mgwhere mg is gravitational force whose SI unit is Newton.-(1)Coefficient of friction is dimensionless. -(2)From (1) and (2), SI unit of F = SI unit of N x SI unit of µ = NewtonHence SI of Friction is Newton.


How does friction demonstrate newtons 3 laws?

Friction involves the interaction between objects when they are in contact. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the context of friction, when one object applies a force on another, the second object exerts an equal but opposite force in the opposite direction, leading to the resistance or slowing down of motion.
