A constant force acts on an object of mass 5 kg for a duration of 2s it increases the object's velocity from 3 m/s To 7 m/s. Find the magnitude of the applied force. Now if the force was applied for a duration of 5s what would be the final velocity of the object?


Given,

mass = 5kg

time = 2s

Initial velocity = 

final velocity = 

Let the acceleration be 'a'.

Therefore, $a\ =\ \frac{v\ -\ u}{t} \ =\ \frac{7\ -\ 3}{2} \ =\ 2\ m/s^{2}$
 We know that, force is the product of mass and acceleration. Therefore, force = 5 x 2 = 10N.

Let the final velocity after 5s be 'v'. 

Therefore, 

$v\ =\ u\ +\ at\ =\ 3\ +\ 2\times 5=\ 13\ m/s$

Hence the final velocity of the object = 13m/s.
