Answer:
734.16 kg m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
The problem is asking for the Force of pushing off the ground.
- The formula of Force is: F = mass x acceleration
Given = Mass: 600 newtons (N)
Acceleration: 12 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
We have to convert the mass into kg first. Remember that 1 kg is equal to 9.80665 newtons.
Let x be the mass in newtons.
Let's convert: [tex]\frac{1 kg}{9.80665 N}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{x}{600 N}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{600}{9.80665}[/tex] = 61.18 kg
Phil's weight is 61.18 kg
Let's go back to finding the force.
F = m x a
F = 61.18 kg x 12 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
F = 734.16 kg m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
