A block has a mass of 250g and is subjected to a uniform acceleration of 120cm s−2 on a smooth table.
Work out the following:
(a) Convert the given mass and acceleration to SI base units.
(b) Calculate the magnitude of the force acting on the block, expressing your answer in newtons correct to two significant figures.
(c) Rewrite the force obtained in part (b) in scientific notation.
