An object has a initial velocity of 10 ms−1 and acceleration of 2 ms−2. What is the net force applied by the engine to the car of mass 50 kg?
Given, initial velocity, u=10 ms−1, acceleration, a=2 ms−2 and mass, m=50 kg
Let the net force applied be F.
According to Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma=50×2=100 N
∴ Net force applied is 100 N.
