Answer:
∑F = 10.2 N
Explanation:
We have:
Initial velocity: 0.5 m/s
Final velocity: 3 m/s
Time: 1.5 s
We have all of the components needed to calculate acceleration. Let's do that, shall we?
a = vf-vo/t
a = 2.5/1.5
a = 1.7 [tex]m[/tex]/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
Now, look at the Net Force equation:
∑F = ma
Plug in the variables, to get:
∑F = (6)(1.7)
∑F = 10.2 N (You can round this according to significant digits)
