3. A block is pushed with 30N of force this changes the velocity from 20m/s to
30m/s, after 2 seconds. What is the mass?


Sagot :

let's find the acceleration first :

  • [tex] \boxed{a = \frac{v - u}{t} }[/tex]

  • [tex]a = \dfrac{30 - 20}{2} [/tex]

  • [tex]a = \dfrac{10}{2} [/tex]

  • [tex]a = 5 \: \: ms {}^{ - 2} [/tex]

now, we know that :

  • [tex]f orce= mass \times acceleration[/tex]

  • [tex]30 = m \times 5[/tex]

  • [tex]m = \dfrac{30}{5} [/tex]

  • [tex]m = 6 \: \: kg[/tex]

hence, mass = 6kg
