A force acts for 0.1s on a body of mass 2kg initially at rest. The force is then withdrawn and the body moves with a velocity of 2m/s. Find the magnitude of force.
Given: u=0, t=0.1s, m=2kg, final velocity v = 2m/s; F=?
We know that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
Acceleration = (v-u)/t
= (2-0)/0.1
= 20m/s2
Force = ma
= 2 x 20 = 40N
