Aperson who weighs 69kg rides with an acceleration of +1.45 m/s2. what is the force exerted by the legs on the person's upper body, assuming that the legs are 32% of the person's mass?

The force exerted by the legs on the person's upper body 32.106 N.

Given:

Mass = 69 kg

Acceleration = 1.45

To find:

Force exerted by legs on the person's upper body = ?

Formula used:

Force = mass × acceleration

Solution:

Mass of legs = mass of body

Mass of legs = 22.08 kg

According to Newton's second law of motion,

Force = mass × acceleration

Force = 22.08 × 1.45

Force = 32.106 N

The force exerted by the legs on the person's upper body 32.106 N.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
