Question

A block of mass 500g is pulled from rest on a horizontal frictionless bench by a steady force F and travels 8m in 2s find
A. acceleration
B. the value of f​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer: 4 m/s^2 and 2 N. Explanation: ... When it's pulled it travels 8 m in 2

Answer 2

$\large \underline{ \underline{Given:-}}$

Initial velocity = zero

Mass of block = 500g

Applied force = F

Distance travelled in 2s = 8 m

$\large \underline{ \underline{to \: find:-}}$

• Acceleration
• Value of applied force

$\large \underline{ \underline{Solution:-}}$

❖ Assuming that body has constant acceleration throughout the motion..

Acceleration of block can be easily calculated by applying equation of kinematics.

Second equation of kinematics :

• d = ut + 1/2 at²

» d denotes distance

» u denotes initial velocity

» t denotes time

» a denotes acceleration

By substituting the given values;

➙ d = ut + 1/2 at²

➙ 8 = (0 × 2) + 1/2 a (2)²

➙ 8 = 0 + 4a/2

➙ 8 = 2a

➙ a = 8/2

➙ a = 4 m/s²

♦ As per newton's second law of motion, force is measured as the product of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, F = m a

[Mass (m) = 500g = 0.5kg]

➙ F = 0.5 × 4

➙ F = 2 N
