Question
A force acts for 10 s on a stationary body of mass 100 kg, after which the force ceases to act. The body moves through a distance of 100 m in the next 5 s. Calculate : The magnitude of the force

Solution
Mass, m = 100 kg
Distance moved, s = 100 m
Initial velocity, u = 0
Force, F = ma
Or, F = (100) (2) N.
Or, F = 200 N.
