Q.10) What force will change the velocity of a body of mass 1kg from 20 m/s
to 30 m/s in two sec..?
A) IN
B) 5N
C)10 N
D) 25 N
Answers
Provided that:
- Mass of a body = 1 kg
- Initial velocity = 20 m/s
- Final velocity = 30 m/s
- Time = 2 seconds
To calculate:
- Force
Solution:
- Force = 5 N
Using concept:
- Force formula
Using formula:
- F = ma
Where, F denotes force, m denotes mass and a denotes acceleration.
Knowledge required:
•️ We can calculate the SI unit of force by using the SI units o mass and acceleration. The SI unit of mass is kg and the SI unit of acceleration is m/s² Therefore, the SI unit of force is kg · m/s² that is kg m/s² But to the honour of Sir Issac Newton the SI unit of force becames Newton(N)
Required solution:
Additional information:
Given:-
- Initial velocity ,u = 20m/s
- Final Velocity ,v = 30m/s
- Time taken ,t = 2s
To Find:-
- Force ,F
Solution:-
According to the Question
Firstly we calculate the acceleration of the body .
As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity.
- a = v-u/t
where,
- v is the final velocity
- a is the acceleration
- u is the initial velocity
- t is the time taken
Substitute the value we get
a = 30-20/2
a = 10/2
a = 5m/s²
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Now, Calculating the force acting .
Force is calculated by the product of mass & acceleration.
- F = ma
where,
- F denote Force
- m denote Mass
- a denote acceleration
Substitute the value we get
F = 1×5
F = 5 N
- Hence, the force is 5 newton.
So, the required answer is (B) 5 N
