Question

A Scooter with a mass of 50 kilograms travels with a speed of 10 meters per second. A 2 Nt force bring it to a halt. How long time the force was acting.

Answer 1

250s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 50kg

Speed = 10m/s

Force = 2N

Unknown:

Time the force was acting = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the equation of motion from the second law of Newton:

Ft = mV

F is the force

t is the time taken

m is the mass

V is the velocity

2 x t = 50 x 10

t = 250s
