A 72 kg object moving 25 m/s will require the greatest amount of force
Given
mass of object and the velocity
Required
the greatest amount of force
Solution
Newton's 2nd law :
∑F = m. a
F = force, N
m = mass = kg
a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²
Assuming the object is moving from rest (vo = 0) and the time needed to reach its velocity is the same (delta t = equal), it can be formulated:
[tex]\tt \Sum F=m.\dfrac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}\\\\F=m.\dfrac{v_f}{\Delta t}[/tex]
So the force on an object depends on the product of its mass and velocity
Or if we use the impulse and momentum formula
[tex]\tt F.\Delta t=m(v_f-v_i)\\\\F,\approx m.v_f[/tex]
So that we determine which is the greatest from the multiplication of mass and velocity will produce the greatest force as well
A 72 x 25 = 1800
B. 55 x 32 =1760
C. 75 x 22 = 1650
D.63 x 27 = 1701
Option A has the greatest force
