A75 kg bobsled is pushed along a horizontal surface by two athletes. after the bobsled is pushed a distance of 4.5m starting from rest, it’s speed is 6.0m/s. find the magnitude of the net force on the bobsled.

The net force acting on the bobsled is 300 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the bobsled is,

Displacement is,

Initial speed is, m/s

Final speed is, m/s

Net acceleration acting on the bobsled can be determined using the following Newton's equation of motion:

Plug in all the given values and solve for acceleration, .

Now, as per Newton's second law, net force is the product of mass and acceleration. So,

Therefore, the net force acting on the bobsled is 300 N.
