A museum curator pulls a 150 kg sculpture across the museum floor, with an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2. Calculate the force with which the curator pushes the sculpture in Newtons.

F = 75 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a sculpture, m = 150 kg

The acceleration of the sculpture, a = 0.5 m/s²

We need to find the force with which the curator pushes the sculpture.

F = ma

Substitute all the values of m and a in it.

F = 150 kg × 0.5 m/s²

= 75 N

So, the required force with which the curator pushes the sculpture is 75 N.

since you're a real machine, your ama is always less than your ima, because you can never totally eliminate friction.
