what is the net force of a 6 kg object that goes from a velocity of 0.5 m/s to a velocity of 3 m/s over the course of 1.5 seconds? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I HAVE 10 MINUTES PLEAS

∑F = 10.2 N

Explanation:

We have:

Initial velocity: 0.5 m/s

Final velocity: 3 m/s

Time: 1.5 s

We have all of the components needed to calculate acceleration. Let's do that, shall we?

a = vf-vo/t

a = 2.5/1.5

a = 1.7 /

Now, look at the Net Force equation:

∑F = ma

Plug in the variables, to get:

∑F = (6)(1.7)

∑F = 10.2 N (You can round this according to significant digits)

if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on the object.

explanation:

this is best explained by having an understanding of newton's second law, which states that f=ma. you see, when the forces are unbalanced, net force (sum of all forces) is not zero. therefore making it necessary for the object to have an acceleration in the direction of the net force.
