Apowerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. at that speed the forces resisting motion, including friction and air resistance, total 450 n. (air resistance is analogous to air friction. it always opposes the motion of an object.) what is the magnitude (in n) of the force the motorcycle exerts backward on the ground to produce its acceleration if the mass of the motorcycle with rider is 245 kg?

1185 N

Explanation:

From Newton’s second law of motion,  

F=ma where m= mass of motorcycle, a is acceleration of the motorcycle and F=Force

Net force acting on motorcycle is given by  

Where F is force acting on motorcycle and f is frictional force

Substituting F-f for

hence  ma= F- f Substituting a with 3, m with 245Kg and f with 450N as provided

245*3= F- 450

F=245*3 +450= 1185 N

the body's situation won't change the forces are equal opposit and on the same body
