A 120 kg basketball star jumps up and accelerates at a rate of 2.5 m/s2. How much force is he exerting to push off the floor?

Relax

Respuesta :

Hey! Since we got the mass of the basketball star as well as the acceleration. We can use Newton's Second Law to figure out the amount of force he is exerting.

F = ma
F = (120)(2.5)
F = 300N

Therefore, he is exerting 300N of force.
