Quick comprehension check
“A bicycle has a mass of 15 kg and is subjected to a net force of 30 Newtons. Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle using the formula F = ma. Show all work. A soccer ball with a mass of 0.5 kg is kicked with a force of 10 Newtons. What will be the acceleration of the soccer ball? Use the formula F = ma and show all calculations. ”
