How much force would you need to accelerate a 4 kg object from a standstill to 5 m/s2?

1 answer:

3 0

To solve this, we use Newtons 2nd law of motion which states that F = m⋅a . This means that a force F is required to make a body of mass m accelerate with an acceleration of a . So if a body of 4kg is to be accelerated by a force 17N then its acceleration can be found by putting into the formula F = m⋅a .

Answer:

6.13 s

219 N

Explanation:

Newton's law in the x direction:

∑F = ma

150 cos 30° N − 50 N = (30 kg) a

a = 2.66 m/s²

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(50 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (2.66 m/s²) t²

t = 6.13 s

Newton's law in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + 150 sin 30° N − (30 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 0

Fn = 219 N
