A force of 20 N acts on a 4 kg cart for 10 s . How far will it go (using the second law) ?

This took me a short while to figure out, but I am still not entirely sure if this is correct, this is just from my basic understanding of Newtons Second Law of Motion.

You have a 4kg cart with a force of 20N acting on it.

The formula for working out the acceleration is.
a=Fnet÷mass

Substitute in the information.
a=20N÷4kg

Now you solve it to give you.
a=5m/s

So now what you should be able to do is figure out that after 10 seconds the cart travelling at 5m/s would have travelled 10 metres.

This is achieved by finding out how many 5's go into 10 which is 2.
So you do 5×2 which equals 10.

The 4kg cart has travelled 10 meters in 10 seconds with a force of 20N acting upon it.

I hope that this has helped you.

ki77a [65]

The speed of the ball just before impact was v=√(2gh) = 6.26m/s. The acceleration is twice this over the time (twice because the second speed is the same in the other direction, meaning the total change in speed is 2V)
a = 12.52/0.10 = 125.2m/s²
The force is F=ma, so F = 0.5kg·125.2m/s² = 62.6N
