Calculating Force: Magnitude and Direction in Physics
Question: A constant force acting on a body of mass 3.0 kg changes its speed from 2.0 ms-1 to 3.5 ms-1 in 25 sec. The direction of the motion of the body remains unchanged. What is the magnitude and direction of the force? Solution: Calculating the Acceleration: Initial velocity of the body $${u=2 \ \frac{m}{s}}$$…

Ball Thrown Upward: Motion Analysis and Calculations
Question: A player throws a ball upwards with an initial speed of 29.4 ms-1 . Solution: Upward direction: Position-Positive Velocity-negative Acceleration-positive Downward direction: Position-positive velocity – positive Acceleration-positive $${u=gt}$$ $${t=\frac {u}{g}}$$ $${t=\frac{29.4}{9.8}}$$ $${t= 3\sec}$$ Total time taken =Time taken to reach top +Time taken to reach the bottom $${3 \ s +3 \ s =6…

Building Height Calculation Using Motion Equations
Question: A particle is projected up with an initial speed of u=10 ms-1 from the top of a building at time t=0.At time t=5 sec, the particle strikes the ground.Find the height of the building. Solution:Building height calculation Solution: Net displacement of the particle is the difference of final position(C) and the initial position(A). Applying…
