QUESTION:

a body of mass 10kg at rest is subjected force of 16N. Find the kinetic energy at end of 20s.


SOLUTION:


Given
that:

  • Mass = 10kg
  • Initial Velocity (u) = 0
  • Force = 16 N
  • Time = 20 seconds

» Finding for the acceleration:


a=F/m


a=16N/10kg


a=1.6/s^2

» Then velocity after 20 seconds will be:


v=u+at


v=0+1.6m/s^2(20s)


v=32/s^

» Now , Finding for the kinetic energy:


K=1*2mv^2


K=1/2(10)(32)^2


K=5(1024)


K=5120
J


ANSWER:

  • The kinetic energy aquired by the body is 5,120 Joules

\large \sf \underline{Problem:}

  • A body of mass 10kg at rest is subjected force of 16N. Find the kinetic energy at end of 20s.

===================================


\large \sf \underline{Answer:}


\huge \qquad \quad \sf{5,120 \: Joules}

===================================


\large \sf \underline{Solution:}

Firstly, find the acceleration:


  • \sf{A = F/m}

  • \sf{A = 16N/10kg}

  • \sf \pmb{A = 1.6m/s^2}

Secondly, the velocity after 20 seconds will be:


  • \sf{V =u+at}

  • \sf{V =0+1.6m/s^2(20s)}

  • \sf \pmb{V =32m/s}

Lastly, find the kinetic energy:


  • \sf{K=1/2mv^2}

  • \sf{K=1/2(10)(32)^2}

  • \sf{K=5(1024)}

  • \sf{\underline{\underline{\pmb{K=5120\:J}}}}

Hence, the kinetic energy at the end is 5,120 Joules.
