A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.61 m/s in a distance of 0.39 m. If the combined mass of the person and the kayak is 74 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force acting on the kayak?

    35.3 N

    Explanation:

    U = 0, V = 0.61 m/s, s = 0.39 m

    Let a be the acceleration.

    Use third equation of motion

    V^2 = u^2 + 2 as

    0.61 * 0.61 = 0 + 2 * a * 0.39

    a = 0.477 m/s^2

    Force = mass * acceleration

    F = 74 * 0.477 = 35.3 N
