A constant force acting on a body of mass 5 kg changes its speed from 2 m/s to 8 m/s in 10 s. The magnitude of force is

Question

Team JKExamLibrary · Accepted Answer

Acceleration a = (v-u)/t = (8-2)/10 = 0.6 m/s². Force F = m×a = 5 × 0.6 = 3 N. Alternatively, impulse = change in momentum = 5×(8-2) = 30 kg m/s, time = 10 s, so average force = 30/10 = 3 N. Always check direction, but magnitude is 3 N.
