Question

A rubbit gets down from a rump which its /\x=0.85m in 0.5s, The rubbit's mass is 2kg, what is the net Force?

Answer 1

Answer: 13.6 N

Explanation:

The equation of motion for the rabbit is:

$\Delta x=V_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta x=0.85 m$ is the distance traveled by the rabbit

$V_{ox}=0 m/s$ is the rabbit's initial velocity, assuming it started from rest

$t=0.5 s$ is the time

$a_{x}$ is the acceleration

Isolating $a_{x}$:

$a_{x}=\frac{2 \Delta x}{t^{2}}$ (2)

$a_{x}=\frac{2 (0.85 m)}{(0.5)^{2}}$ (3)

$a_{x}=6.8 m/s^{2}$ (4)

On the other hand, the force $F_{x}$ is given by:

$F_{x}=m.a_{x}$ (5)

Where $m=2 kg$ is the mass of the rabbit

Substituting (4) in (5):

$F_{x}=(2 kg)(6.8 m/s^{2})$ (6)

Finally:

$F_{x}=13.6 N$
