Answer:
44 N
Explanation:
Force applied can be calculated using the formula as follows;
F = m.a
Where;
F = force (Newton)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
According to the information provided in this question, mass of shot put = 5.5kg, acceleration = 8m/s². Hence;
F = m × a
F = 5.5 × 8
F = 44 Newtons
The force needed by the shot putter is 44N.
