FURTHER MATHEMATICSWAEC 2009
A force F acts on a body of mass 12kg increases its speed from 5 m/s to 35 m/s in 5 seconds. Find the value of F.
- A. 36 N
- B. 48 N
- C. 72 N
- D. 108 N
Correct Answer: C. 72 N
Explanation
\(F = ma \)
\(a = \frac{v - u}{t}\)
\(\therefore F = m(\frac{v - u}{t})\)
\(F = 12(\frac{35 - 5}{5}) = 12 \times 6 = 72 N\)
