Answer:
Time = 2 seconds
Explanation:
Required velocity to be gained = v = 12 m/s
Force applied = F = 30 N
Mass = m = 5 kg
According to Newton's 2nd law,
F = ma
We know that acceleration = a = v/t
F = mv/t
t = mv/F => t = 5×12/30 = 60/30 = 2s
Time t that the force 30 N must be applied so that the body of mass 5 kg gains a velocity of 12 m/s is 2s

Answer:
Answer is 2 seconds
Explanation:
Lets suppose u = 0 (initial velocity)
v = 12 m/s (final velocity)
F = 30N
mass = 5kg
Acceleration = Force/mass = 30/5 = 6m/s²
First equation of motion is v = u + at
t = (v - u)/a
t = (12-0)/6 = 2s
Therefore, time = 2s
