GRESA method stands for given, required, equation, solution and answer.
We are required to solve the question according to the GRESA method. However, the question has multiple sub questions and hence we will solve each one of them separately.
Question 1:
Given:
Net force of 200N
initial velocity is 0 m/s
final velocity is 40 m/s
time is given to be 10 s
Required:
We are required to find the mass of the cart.
Equation:
By using Newton's second law of motion,
F= m x (v-u)/t
Solution:
By putting all the values, we get:
200N = m x ( 40 -0 ) / 10
m = 200 /4 = 50kg
Answer:
The weight of the cart is 50kg.
Hence option (c) 50kg is correct
QUESTION 2:
Given:
mass of ball = 0.4 kg
force of hitting = 16N
Required:
We are required to find the acceleration of the ball after hitting
Equation:
Using Newton's law of motion,
F = m x a
Solution:
By putting all the values, we get:
16 = 0.4 x a
a =16/0.4 = 40 m/s^2
Answer:
Hence option (B) 40 m/s^2 is the correct answer
QUESTION 3:
Given:
mass of papaya =3.5kg
acceleration of papaya = 2.2 m/s^2
Required:
We are required to find the net force applied
Equation:
Using Newton's law of motion,
F = m x a
Solution:
By putting all the values we get:
F = 3.5 x 2.2
=7.7 N
Answer:
The external force applied is 7.7 N to the left
Question 4:
Given:
net force = 300N
acceleration = 0.750 m/s^2
Required:
We are required to find the mass of the crate
Equation:
By using Newton's second law of motion,
F= m x a
Solution:
By putting all the values, we get:
300 = m x 0.750
m = 300/0.750
= 400kg
Answer:
Hence the weight of crate is 400kg
