Answer:

We conclude that the force on the bag is 500 N.

Explanation:

Given

  • Mass m = 1000 kg
  • Acceleration a = 0.5 m/s²

To determine

Force F = ?

We know that when a force is applied to a body, it produces acceleration.

Important Tip:

  • We can determine the force on the bag using the formula F = ma

Using the formula

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

where

  • [tex]F[/tex] is the force
  • [tex]m[/tex] is the mass
  • [tex]a[/tex] is the acceleration

now substitute m = 1000, and a = 0.5 m/s² in the formula

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

[tex]F = (1000)(0.5)[/tex]

[tex]F=500[/tex] N

Therefore, we conclude that the force on the bag is 500 N.
