3. The wind pushes a paper cup along the sand at a beach. The cup has a mass of0.025 kg and accelerates at a rate of 5 m/s?. How much force is the wind exerting onthe cup?

Respuesta :

Given data

*The mass of the cup is m = 0.025 kg

*The given acceleration is

[tex]a=5m/s^2[/tex]

The expression for the force exerting by the wind on the cup is given as

[tex]F=ma[/tex]

Substitute the values in the above expression as

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=0.025\times5 \\ =0.125\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the force exerted by the wind on the cup is F = 0.125 N
