An external force of magnitude 100N acts on a particle of mass 0.15kg for 0.03s. Calculate the change in the speed of the particle

  • A. 50ms-1
  • B. 25ms-1
  • C. 20ms-1
  • D. 5ms-1

Correct Answer: C. 20ms-1

Explanation

a = \(\frac{F}{m} = \frac{100}{0.15} = 666.7\)

v = u + at

= 0 + 66.7 x 0.03

= 20m/s2
