Answer» 1. To find the velocity at the end of 5 seconds. We have, F = ma Given, F = 98 N and m = 10 kg ∴ acceleration a = F/m = 98/10 = 9.8 ms-2 velocity v = u + at Here a = 0, a = 9.8 ms-2 and t = 5 s ∴ v = 0 + 9.8 × 5 = 49.0 ms-1 2. To find the distance travelled we have, s = ut + 1/2 at2 Here, u = 0, a = 9.8 ms-2 t = 5 seconds ∴ s = 0 × 5 + 1/2 x 9.8 x (5)2 = 122.5 m. |
