When will a body of mass 20 kg moving at 15 m s - 1 , subjected to a retarding force of 100 N , come to rest?
Options
- A3   s
- B6   s
- C1 . 5   s
- D9   s
Correct answer
A. 3   s
Step-by-step solution
Given that Retarding force F = 100   N Initial velocity u = 15   m   s - 1 Mass m = 20   kg From newton's second law F = m a ⇒ a = F m = 100 20 = 5   m   s - 2 From equation of motion v = u + a t ⇒ 0 = 15 - 5 t ⇒ t = 3   s
