Question

if a 70 kg swimmer pushed off a pool wall with a force of 250 N, at what rate will the swimmer accelerate from the wall

Answer 1

Answer:

3.57 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m}$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{250}{70} = 3.5714$

We have the final answer as

3.57 m/s²

Hope this helps you
