Question

A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800.0 N on him. The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating backward at 1.25 m/s2.

  1. What is the force of friction between the losing player's feet and the grass?
    Ff=Ff= Correct N
     Correct!
  2. What force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110.0 kg?
    F=F= Incorrect N
     Incorrect.
