Algebra.Com's Answer #650731 by KMST(5328) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Force = mass x acceleration. \n" ); document.write( "The mass of the object was measured in kg, but the acceleration seems to be in miles per second squared, so we have an unusual mixture of units. \n" ); document.write( "What country are we in? \n" ); document.write( "What units do we want to use for the force? \n" ); document.write( "Was the acceleration really measured in miles per second squared? \n" ); document.write( "With mass in kg, and acceleration in meters per second squared, we would be using all SI (Systeme International) units, and would get the force in Newtons. \n" ); document.write( "1 mile = 1.609344 km =1609.344 meters. \n" ); document.write( "So, the force (in Newtons) needed to give a 60 kg object an acceleration of 2.2 miles per second squared is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "If you wanted the force in pound-force, \n" ); document.write( "4.44822 N = 1 pound-force, so \n" ); document.write( " |
