Calculating Force Exerted on a Trampoline: Newton's Second Law
Using Newton's Second Law of Motion
Formula for Calculating Force
The force exerted on the trampoline can be calculated using the equation:
Force = (Weight / g) * acceleration
Where Weight is your weight in newtons, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²), and acceleration is the acceleration upwards in m/s².
Calculation
Given that you weigh 655 N and are accelerating upwards at 7.50 m/s²:
Force = (655 N / 9.8 m/s²) * 7.50 m/s² â 497 N
