  • Calculating Force Applied to a Bike: A Physics Problem Solved
    Here's how to solve this problem using Newton's second law of motion:

    Newton's Second Law

    Newton's second law of motion states: Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)

    Given:

    * Mass (m) = 20 kg

    * Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s²

    Calculation:

    * Force (F) = 20 kg * 10 m/s²

    * Force (F) = 200 Newtons (N)

    Answer:

    The person was pedaling with a force of 200 Newtons.
