Force = mass*acceleration.
Therefore, a force has a magnitude and direction.
This is best explained through the use of an optics diagram, this is a little too complicated to explain in a short answer, and as I can't draw an appropriate diagram in this answer, I will point you to this excellent resource which explains what you have asked very well!
Go onto the BBC website (you should have access to it even if you aren't in the UK) and paste this after the BBC url,

Answer:
The solution for this problem is:
We will be using the formula for force which is F = ma
=>10,000 = 2000 * a
but we need to solve for acceleration so divide both sides by 2000, we will get:
=>a = 5 m/s^2
Let the initial velocity was u m/s
=>By v = u - at
=>0 = u - 5 x 6
Since acceleration is constant the velocity can be computed by multiplying the acceleration by 6 seconds.
=>u = 30 m/s
Explanation:
24N is the answer
You would need to multiply 8 until you get to a number.
Answer:
0.1 m/s
Explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
Mass of 1st cart (m₁) = 500 g
Initial velocity of 1st cart (u₁) = 0.25 m/s
Mass of 2nd cart (m₂) = 750 g
Initial velocity of 2nd cart (u₂) = 0 m/s
Velocity (v) after collision =.?
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
(500 × 0.25) + (750 × 0) = v(500 + 750)
125 + 0 = v(1250)
125 = 1250v
Divide both side by 1250
v = 125 / 1250
v = 0.1 m/s
Thus, the two cart will move with a velocity of 0.1 m/s after collision.
