Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard. Nikolas, the fire extinguisher, and the skateboard have a combined mass of 50 kg. What force would the fire extinguisher have to produce to propel Nikolas if he wanted to accelerate at a rate of 1.2 m/s2? Round your answer to the nearest whole newton. 60 N Which of Newton's laws did Nikolas have to use to calculate this force?

    The Answer would be 60N

    Newton's first law: F = m*a

    if a = 1,2 m/s*2 and m = 50 kg

    F = 1,2*50 = 60 N
