A body of mass 25kg changes its speed from 15m/s to 35m/s in 5 seconds by the action of an applied force F. Find the value of F.

  • A. 100N
  • B. 375N
  • C. 500N
  • D. 600N

Correct Answer: A. 100N

Explanation

\(F = ma = m(\frac{v - u}{t})\)

\(F = 25(\frac{35 - 15}{5}) = 25 \times 4 = 100N\)
