A 10 kg mass car initially at rest on a horizontal track is pushed by a horizontal force of 10 N magnitude. If we neglect the friction force between the car and the track, calculate how much the car travels in 10 s

Answer:

50 m

Step-by-step explanation:

F = ma

10 N = (10 kg) a

a = 1 m/s²

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 1 m/s²

t = 10 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (10 s) + ½ (1 m/s²) (10 s)²

Δx = 50 m
