1. A force of 50 N acts on an object of mass 250 kg which is initially at rest, for 10 s. find the distance travelled and the velocity gained at the end of this time.

Respuesta :

The distance travelled is 10 m

The velocity gained at the end of the time is 2 m/s

Motion

From the question, we are to determine distance travelled and the velocity gained

From one of the equations of motion for linear motion, we have that

S = ut + 1/2at²

Where S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

and a is the acceleration

First, we will calculate the acceleration

Using the formula,

F = ma

Where F is the force

m is the mass

and a is the acceleration

∴ a = F/m

Where F is the force

and a is the acceleration

From the given information,

F = 50 N

m = 250 kg

Putting the parameters into the equation,

a =  50/250

a = 0.2 m/s²

Thus,

From the information,

u = 0 m/s (Since the object was initially at rest)

t = 10 s

S = 0(t) + 1/2(0.2)(10)²

S = 10 m

Hence, the distance travelled is 10 m

For the velocity

Using the formula,

v = u + at

Where v is the velocity

v = 0 + 0.2×10

v = 2 m/s

Hence, the velocity gained at the end of the time is 2 m/s
