Homework Statement
I have an object of 10 kg
It is to be displaced 2 meters
Assume a frictionless surface, and no wind resistance
The object begins as stationary, then is moved that distance in the span of .5 seconds.
Homework Equations
Force = mass* acceleration
acceleration = (delta velocity) / time
velocity = (delta position) / time
The Attempt at a Solution
initial velocity is 0
final velocity is: (2 - 0) meters / .5 second = 2 meters / .5 seconds= 4 meters per second
acceleration = (4 m/s - 0 m/s) / .5 seconds = 8 meters / second^2
8(m/s^2) * 10 kg = 80 Newtons
Correct?
