Zookeepers carry a stretcher that holds a sleeping lion. The total mass of the stretcher and lion is 175 kg. The lion's forward acceleration is 2 m/s2. What is the force necessary to produce this acceleration?

350 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

∑F = (175 kg) (2 m/s²)

∑F = 350 N

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
