The speed of an object increases uniformly from 5.00 m/s to 10.0 m/s in 2.00 s with a mass of 2.00 kg when a force is applied to it. What is the amount of force?
Two forces act on a 2.55 kg object, the gravitational force and a second, constant force. The object starts from rest and in 1.20 s is displaced (4.05î – 3.30j) m. Write th
second force in unit vector notation. (Enter your answer in kg • m/s?. Assume the gravitational force acts in the -j direction.)
Find the work performed when the given force F is applied to an object, whose resulting motion is represented by the displacement vector d. Assume the force is in pounds and the displacement is measured in feet.
