A force acts for 0.2 sec on an object having mass 1.4 kg initially at rest. The force stops to act but the object moves through 4m in the next 2 sec. Find the magnitude of the force? (Ans: 14 N ) |

Answer» Answer ⇒ 14 N. Solution ⇒ As per as the question, the force has stopped ACTING, thus, the object will MOVE with constant velocity. Given, Distance covered = 4 m. Time taken = 2 seconds. ∵ Velocity = Distance/Time ∴ V = 4/2 = 2m/s Now, Time = 0.2 seconds. Using the First equation of motion, a = (v-u)/t A = (2 - 0)/0.2 A = 10 ms⁻² Now, Using the Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration. ∴ Force = 1.4 × 10 ⇒ Force = 14 N Hence the magnitude of the force is 14 N. Hope it helps. |
