1) Homework Statement

If a cow eating grass (at rest) and having a mass of 408.6 kg slides down a 10 meter slope in 1.5 seconds. What is the net force on the cow?

2) A net force of 450 N is applied to a .333 kg baseball, what is its acceleration?

Homework Equations

force = mass * acceleration

The Attempt at a Solution

No idea how to do number one! Is number two, 450=.333(acceleration) ?

Thanks

2) A net force of 450 N is applied to a .333 kg baseball, what is its acceleration?

Homework Equations

force = mass * acceleration

remember it's net force=mass*acceleration

The Attempt at a Solution

No idea how to do number one!

what's the acceleration of the cow using the kinematic equations? Then apply your relevant equation.

Is number two, 450=.333(acceleration) ?

Yes, solve for the acceleration, but don't forget to use the proper units; when the mass is in kg and the force is in N, then the acceleration has the units of_______?
