A force acts for 0.1 sec on a body of mass 2kg initially at rest. The force is then withdrawn and the body moves with a velocity of 2m/s . Find the magnitude of force
We have,
Mass, m = 2 kg
Initial velocity, u = 0
Final velocity, v = 2 m/s
Time, t = 0.1 s
Now, Acceleration, a = (v - u)/t
=> a = (2 - 0)/0.1 = 20 m/s²
So, force, F = ma = (2)(20) = 40 N
