Newton's Second Law
Easyphysics
A force of 20 N acts on a body of mass 4 kg initially at rest. What will be its velocity after 5 seconds?
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
25 m/s
- Newton's Second Law: F=ma.
- Find Acceleration (a):
- a=F/m=20 N/4 kg=5 m/s2.
- Kinematic Equation: Use v=u+at.
- Substitution:
- Initial velocity u=0 (at rest).
- Acceleration a=5 m/s2.
- Time t=5 s.
- Calculation: v=0+(5×5)=25 m/s.
