Question

Find the average net force.

Answer 1

Answer:

given

mass= 3.5 kg

distance covered= 0.4m

inital speed = 1.5 m/sec

final speed = 0 m/sec

To find

net force

solution

formula for force :

$\fbox{f = m.a}$

In order to find the force we need to find the acceleration.

According to third equation of Kinematics-

$\bold{ {v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2as}$

where,

v= final velocity

u=inital Velocity

a=Acceleration

s=Distance covered

put the value in the above equation

0= (1.5)²+ 2a x 0.4

-2.25= 0.8a

a = -2.25/0.8

a= - 2.8125 m/sec²

now put the value 0f accleration in formula of force

F = m.a

F = 3.5 x - 2.8125

F= -9.84375 N
