A body of mass 20 kg moving north with a velocity of 0.5 ms-1 is subjected to a force of 15 N North for 2.9 s. Calculate the final velocity of the body.pleassse

Sagot :

The final velocity of the body is 2.675 m/s.

To find the final velocity of the body, we use the formula below.

Velocity  

This can be defined as the ratio of displacement to time. the S.I unit of velocity is m/s.

⇒ Formula:

  • F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • F = Force
  • m = mass of the body
  • v = final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • t = time.

⇒ make v the subject of the equation

  • v = (Ft/m)+u.................. Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • F = 15 N
  • m = 20 kg
  • u = 0.5 m/s
  • t = 2.9 s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • v = [(15×2.9)/20]+0.5
  • v = 2.675 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of the body is 2.675 m/s.
