Mass = kinetic energy * 2 / velocity^2

=> mass= 100 * 2 / 5^2

= 200 / 25 = 8 kg

in short , your answer is 8 kg

K.E= 1/2 mv²
So, m= K..E*2/v²
∴ m= 100 *2/ 25
m=8 Js²/m
As, the unit of K.E and velocities are in SI so unit of mass would also be in SI i.e, kg
So, m=8 kg

7. A force of 100 N acting on a body gives it a speed of 200 m/s in 2

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Choice a. 1 kg, assuming that all other forces on the object (if any) are balanced.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law,

$\displaystyle a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}$ ,

where

$a$ is the acceleration of the object in $\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ ,
$\Sigma F$ is the net force on the object in Newtons, and
$m$ is the mass of the object in kilograms.

As a result,

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Sigma F}{a}$ .

Assume that all other forces on this object are balanced. The net force on the object will be $100\;\text{N}$ . The net force is constant. Acceleration should also be constant and the same as the average acceleration in the two seconds.

<h3>What is the average acceleration of this object?</h3>

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Acceleration} &= \text{Average Acceleration}=\frac{\text{Change in Velocity}}{\text{Time Taken}}\end{aligned}$ .

$\displaystyle {a} = \frac{200\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}}{2\;\text{s}}=100\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ .

<h3>Apply Newton's Second Law to find the mass of the object.</h3>

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Sigma F}{a} = \frac{100\;\text{N}}{100\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}} = 1\;\text{kg}$ .
