A tiger is pursuing a rat at 3.3 m/s the Tiger is 70kg what net force is required during this time?
Net Force Required During Tiger-Rat Pursuit
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The net force required for a tiger weighing 70 kg to pursue a rat at a constant speed of 3.3 m/s is determined using Newton's second law of motion. Since the tiger is not accelerating, the net force is zero when moving at a constant velocity. If the tiger were to accelerate at 3.3 m/s², the net force would be calculated as 70 kg multiplied by 3.3 m/s², resulting in a force of 231 N. Clarification on units and acceleration is essential for accurate calculations.
