Question

A ball has a mass of 2 kg and is thrown with a force of 8 Newtons for .35 seconds. What is the ball's change in

velocity?

Answer 1

1.4s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball = 2kg

Force = 8N

Time = 0.35s

Unknown:

Change in velocity = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression obtained from Newton's second law of motion which is shown below:

Ft = m(v - u)

So;

Ft = m Δv

F is the force

t is the time

m is the mass

Δv is the change in velocity

8 x 0.35 = 2 x Δv

Δv = 1.4s
