Question

What happens when a constant force is applied on a body in a horizontal direction?

Answer 1

1. When a constant force is applied to a body, its acceleration remains constant since force is the product of the body's mass and acceleration, F=ma, where mass is constant and force is constant, resulting in uniform acceleration in the horizontal direction.
2. Work is done when a force F moves a body by a distance s in the direction of the force applied.

$\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{F}\times \mathrm{s}$
