A 50.0 kg object is moving at 18.2 m/s when a 200 N force

is applied opposite the direction of the object's motion,

causing it to slow down to 12.6 m/s.

How long was this force applied?

Respuesta :

Answer:

distance = 21.56 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 50 kg

initial velocity  = 18.2 m/s

force = -200 N ( here force applied to opposite direction )

final velocity = 12.6 m/s

solution

we know here acceleration will be as

acceleration a  = force ÷ mass

a = [tex]\frac{-200}{50}[/tex]   =  -4 m/s²

we get here now required time that is

required time = [tex]\frac{V_{(final)} - V_{(initial)}}{a}[/tex]     ...............1

put here value

required time = [tex]\frac{12.6-18.2}{-4}[/tex]  

so distance will be

distance = [tex]\frac{V_{(final)}^2 - V_{(initial)}^2}{2a}[/tex]    ........2

distance = [tex]\frac{12.6}^2 -{18.2}^2}{2\times (-4)}[/tex]  

distance = 21.56 m

Lanuel

The amount of time this force was applied on the object is equal to 1.4 seconds.

Given the following data:

  • Force = 200 Newton
  • Mass of object = 50.0 kg
  • Final velocity = 18.2 m/s
  • Initial velocity = 12.6 m/s.

To determine how long (time) this force was applied, we would apply Newton's Second Law of Motion:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on the object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, Newton's Second Law of Motion is given by this formula;

[tex]Force = mass \times acceleration[/tex]

Also, the acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change in velocity with respect to time.

So, Newton's Second Law of Motion becomes:

[tex]F = \frac{M(v\;-\;u)}{t}[/tex]

Making t the subject of formula, we have:

[tex]t = \frac{M(v\;-\;u)}{F}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]t = \frac{50(18.2\;-\;12.6)}{200}\\\\t = \frac{50(5.6)}{200}[/tex]

Time, t = 1.4 seconds
