Solution
Given:
Mass of the particle, m = 50 g = 5 × 10−2 kg
Slope of the v-t graph gives acceleration.
At t = 2 s,
Slope = \[\frac{15}{3} = 5 m/ s^2\]
So, acceleration, a = 5 m/s2
F = ma = 5 × 10−2 × 5
⇒ F = 0.25 N along the motion.
At t = 4 s,
Slope = 0
So, acceleration, a = 0
⇒ F = 0
At t = 6 sec,
Slope =\[\frac{- 15}{3} = - 5 m/ s^2\]
So, acceleration, a = − 5 m/s2
F = ma = − 5 × 10−2 × 5
⇒ F = − 0.25 N along the motion
or, F = 0.25 N opposite the motion.
