Question

An object of mass 100Kg is accelerated uniformly from a velocity of 5ms1 to 8ms1 in 6s. Calculate the initial and final momentum of the object. Also find the magnitude of the force exerted on the object.

Solution

Mass of the object, m=100Kg
Initial velocity, u=5ms1
Final velocity, v=8ms2
(i) Initial momentum =mv=100×5=500Kgms1.
Final momentum =mv=100×8=800Kgms1.
(ii) From Newton’s second law,
Force exerted on the object = Rate of change of momentum
= Change in momentum / Time,
= Final momentum - Initial momentum / Time,
= 8005006
= 3006
= 50N.
