Question on: WAEC Physics - 2007
A car of mass 800kg moves from rest on a horizontal track and travels 60m in 20s with uniform acceleration. Assuming there were no frictional forces, calculate the accelerating force
A
240.0N
B
800.0N
C
1600.00N
D
2400.0N
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
S = at + \(\frac{1}{2} at^2\)
60 = 0 x 20 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x a x 20
a = \(\frac{3}{10}\)m/s2
F = ma = 800 x \(\frac{3}{10} = 240N\)
60 = 0 x 20 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x a x 20
a = \(\frac{3}{10}\)m/s2
F = ma = 800 x \(\frac{3}{10} = 240N\)
