A constant retarding force of 50 N isapplied to a body of mass 20 kg moving initially with a speed of 15 msтАУ1.How long does the body take to stop?



Answer -

Retarding force,┬аF┬а= тАУ50 N

Mass of the body,┬аm┬а= 20 kg

Initial velocity of the body,┬аu┬а=15 m/s

Final velocity of the body,┬аv┬а=0

Using NewtonтАЩs second law of motion, theacceleration (a) produced in the body can be calculated as:

F┬а=┬аma

тАУ50 = 20 ├Ч┬аa

Using the first equation of motion, the time(t) taken by the body to come to rest can be calculated as:

v┬а=┬аu┬а+┬аat

┬а=6 s
