Finding net force, acceleration and speed.

In summary, net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account both the direction and magnitude of all individual forces. To find net force, you must first identify all the individual forces acting on an object and then calculate the net force by adding together all the forces in the same direction and subtracting any forces in the opposite direction. Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time and can be calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the change in time. To calculate acceleration, you need to know the change in velocity and the time it takes for that change to occur. The net force acting on an object is directly proportional to its acceleration, meaning that as the net force increases, the acceleration of the

A 150 kg motorcycle starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate along a a distance of 350m. The applied force is 250 N and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.03

Find the net force applied to the motorcycle.
Find the acceleration of the motorcycle.
What is its speed at the end of 350 m?


I tried finding the net force by multiplying mass and gravity, but then I think I'm still wrong.

What forces are acting on the motorcycle?

In what directions are these forces acting?
 

1. What is net force?

Net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account both the direction and magnitude of all individual forces.

2. How do you find net force?

To find net force, you must first identify all the individual forces acting on an object. Then, you can calculate the net force by adding together all the forces in the same direction and subtracting any forces in the opposite direction.

3. What is acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It can be calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the change in time.

4. How do you calculate acceleration?

To calculate acceleration, you need to know the change in velocity and the time it takes for that change to occur. You can then use the formula a = Δv/Δt, where a is acceleration, Δv is the change in velocity, and Δt is the change in time.

5. What is the relationship between net force and acceleration?

The net force acting on an object is directly proportional to its acceleration. This means that as the net force increases, the acceleration of the object will also increase, and vice versa.
