A 2.3 kg otter starts from rest at the top of a
muddy incline 90.5 cm long and slides down
to the bottom in 0.50 s.
What net external force acts on the otter
along the incline?

Let's use the second Newton's law: F = ma. All we need is to calculate acceleration a. Why can do it in a such way: Va = 0.905/0.50 = 1,81 m/s - average speed of an ottet. We know that V(0) = 0. Also we& know that V(0.5/2) = V(0.25) = Va. So, a = (V(0.25)-V(0))/0.25 = (Va-0)*4 = 4*Va = 4*1.81 = 7,24 m/s^2. At last we obtain F = ma = 2.3*7.24 = 16,652 N.
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
