Question

A body of mass 0.40 kg moving initially with a constant speed of 10 m s⁻¹ to the north is subject to a constant force of 8.0 N directed towards the south for 30 s. Take the instant the force is applied to be t = O, the position of the body at that time to be x = O. and predict its position at t = -5 s. 25 s. 100 s.

Answer 1

Mass of the body, m = 0.40 kg

Initial speed of the body, u = 10 m/s due north

Force acting on the body, F = –8.0 N

Acceleration produced in the body, 

(i) At t = –5 s

Acceleration, a' = 0 and u = 10 m/s



= 10 × (–5) = –50 m

(ii) At t = 25 s

Acceleration, a'' = –20 m/s2 and u = 10 m/s



(iii) At t = 100 s

For 

a = –20 m/s2

u = 10 m/s



= –8700 m

For 

As per the first equation of motion, for t = 30 s, final velocity is given as:

v = u + at

= 10 + (–20) × 30 = –590 m/s

Velocity of the body after 30 s = –590 m/s

For motion between 30 s to 100 s, i.e., in 70 s:



= –590 × 70 = –41300 m

∴Total distance, = –50000 m

$\bold\green{Your\:Answer:-}$

Mass of the body, m = 0.40 kg

Initial speed of the body, u = 10 m/s due north

Force acting on the body, F = –8.0 N

Acceleration produced in the body,

a = f/m = -8.0/0.40 = - 20 m/s^2

At t = –5 s

Acceleration, a' = 0 and u = 10 m/s

S = ut + 1/2 a' t^2 = 10× (-5)= -50 m

At t = 25 s

Acceleration, a'' = –20 m/s2 and u = 10 m/s

S' = ut' + 1/2 a'' t^2 = (10×25)+ 1/2 (-20)× (25)^2

= 250+ 6250= - 6000 m

At t = 100 s For 0≤ t ≤ 30

a = –20 m/s2

u = 10 m/s

S' = ut' + 1/2 a'' t^2 = (10×30)+ 1/2 (-20)× (30)^2

= 300- 9000 = - 8700 m

____________________________❤

For 30≤ t ≤ 100

As per the first equation of motion,

for t = 30 s,

final velocity is given as:

v = u + at = 10 + (–20) × 30 = –590 m/s

Velocity of the body after 30 s = –590 m/s

For motion between 30 s to 100 s, i.e., in 70 s:

S' = ut' + 1/2 a'' t^2

= –590 × 70 = –41300 m

Total distance= -8700-41300 = -50000 m

I hope, this will help you
