Answer:
Magnitude of the net force acting on the kayak = 39.61 N
Explanation:
Considering motion of kayak:-
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Distance , s = 0.40 m
Final velocity, v = 0.65 m/s
We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as
Substituting
v² = u² + 2as
0.65² = 0² + 2 x a x 0.4
a = 0.53 m/s²
We have force, F = ma
Mass, m = 75 kg
F = ma = 75 x 0.53 = 39.61 N
Magnitude of the net force acting on the kayak = 39.61 N
