Calculating Stopping Time for a Body under Constant Retarding Force
Question: A constant retarding force of 50 N is applied to a body of mass 20 Kg moving initially with a speed of 15 ms-1 .How long does the body take to stop? Solution: Stopping time calculation: Calculating the acceleration: $${Acceleration =\frac{Force}{Mass}}$$ $${Acceleration =\frac {50 \ N}{20 \ Kg}}$$ $${Acceleration= 2.5 \ \frac{m}{s^2}}$$ Retardation: Retardation…
