Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a 4 kg object is at rest and a net force of 8 N is applied, what will be its velocity after 2 seconds?
  • Step 1: Identify the mass of the object, which is 4 kg.
  • Step 2: Identify the net force applied to the object, which is 8 N.
  • Step 3: Use the formula F = ma to find the acceleration (a).
  • Step 4: Rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration: a = F/m.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: a = 8 N / 4 kg.
  • Step 6: Calculate the acceleration: a = 2 m/s².
  • Step 7: Identify the time duration for which the force is applied, which is 2 seconds.
  • Step 8: Use the formula for velocity: velocity = acceleration * time.
  • Step 9: Substitute the values into the formula: velocity = 2 m/s² * 2 s.
  • Step 10: Calculate the final velocity: velocity = 4 m/s.
  • Newton's Second Law of Motion – This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
  • Kinematics – This involves the equations of motion that relate acceleration, time, and velocity.
