The acceleration of the skateboarder is 0.97m/s² to the right.
Given that the mass of the skateboard and the person is 72.3 kg.
Air resistance is 7.20N
Applied force is 77.40N
How acceleration of the skateboarder is calculated?
According to Newton's Second law of motion, there will be the equal change in momentum per change in time.
Formula is F = ma
Here, we have to find acceleration, so that a = F ÷ m
Applied force - Air Resistance = 77.40 - 7.20 = 70.2.
Then, a = 70.2 ÷ 72.3
Thus, a = 0.97 m/s² to the right.
