Answer: He would reach 7m/s at the distance of 17,5m.

Explanation: In order for us to know how long it takes for the speed to be reached, we use the equation V= Vo + at, with V=7m/s, Vo= 0m/s since you start from rest and a=1.4m/s². T is the time in seconds that we want to find out.

7 = 0 + 1.4t

7 = 1.4t

t= 5s

Now, we want to know the distance this boy reaches in 5 seconds, in a 7m/s speed and accelarating in 1.4m/s². For finding this out, we use another equation, S = So + Vot + (at²)/2, S being the final distance, So = 0m because he started from rest, and the other variables used before.

S = 0 + 0*5 + [1.4*(5²)]/2

S = 0 + 0 + (1.4*25)/2

S = 35/2

S = 17,5m

How is force useful as well as harmful.<br>Comment with the statement.

vladimir1956 [14]

No, we can't say force is useful or harmful. All else being equal, force is either not harmful or useful depending on the body that is applying it and where it is applying it.

Given how it affects motion, force is a crucial idea. It is a relationship that, in the absence of an opposing force, modifies an object's motion. However, a push or a pull that any object feels is the simplest definition of force. Due to the fact that force is a vector quantity, it possesses both a magnitude and a direction.

How force is useful

A body at rest can move with enough force.A body in motion may be slowed down or stopped by it.It has the power to quicken the pace of an object in motion.Along with its shape and size, it can also alter the direction of a moving body.
