a) 3 m/s per sOriginally posted by Martell21:hey guys need a little help in sec3 phy..hope u guys can help me..
1)a box of mass 20 kg is initially at rest when 2 boys A and B each apply a force of 45N and 35N respectively in the same direction on the box for a time of 10s
a)if the frictional force acting on the box is 20N for the first 10s, calculate the acceleration attained by the box in 10s.
b)if the frictional force acting on the box is increased to 80N after the first 10s, describle the subsequent motioon of the box in terms of its speed and acceleration.
hey thax alot but the working for b) is how ar??Originally posted by I_am_PeTe_Parker:a) 3 m/s per s
b) the box will go from a velocity of 30 m/s to a stand
The accelaration is -4 m/s per s
The box will travel 112.5 m before coming to a stand still and it will take 7.5 seconds for it to come to a stand still.
b) the box will go from a velocity of 30 m/s to a stand still 0 m/sI doubt it will come to a stand still.. i believe it will instead continue moving at a constant velocity at 30 m/s with no acceleration because a net force 0N on the object doesn't mean that velocity = 0m/s
The accelaration is -4 m/s per s
The box will travel 112.5 m before coming to a stand still and it will take 7.5 seconds for it to come to a stand still.
velocity at the start of part (b) = 0 + 3 X 10 = 30m/s (V = V0 + at)Originally posted by Martell21:hey thax alot but the working for b) is how ar??
I know this is a trick question....moth do not have balls...Originally posted by Mothballz:A Mothballz weighs 100N. What is the velocity of the Mothballz before it hits the ground when it is dropped from a height of 1m?
But if you read the question again...you will notice the two boys only exert the force for 10s only. So in part b, which is already after 10s the only force acting is the friction of 80N.Originally posted by Razor87:I doubt it will come to a stand still.. i believe it will instead continue moving at a constant velocity at 30 m/s with no acceleration because a net force 0N on the object doesn't mean that velocity = 0m/s

I think the answer should be (the first answer was wrong).Originally posted by Martell21:hey guys need a little help in sec3 phy..hope u guys can help me..

this is correct anot ar???Originally posted by findingnewidea:I think the answer should be (the first answer was wrong).
(a)
F=ma
(45+35)-20=20a
a=20/60
a=0.333ms^(-2)
therefore, acceleration is 0.333ms^-2
The acceleration doesn't increase with time as the net force is constant across the first 10s.
(b)
v=u+at=0+0.333*10=3.33ms^-1
this is the velocity after the first 10s.
F=ma
(45-35)-80=20a
a=0
No net force therefore, the box will move at constant speed of 3.33ms^-1
this answer is correct, if it isn't a trick question as mentioned by peter parker - that the two boys still exert force on it after the 10s.Originally posted by I_am_PeTe_Parker:But if you read the question again...you will notice the two boys only exert the force for 10s only. So in part b, which is already after 10s the only force acting is the friction of 80N.
a) whats the meaning of acceleration in 10s? or does it mean accelation at time 10s ask the question setter to go and check his english unless he means to integrate the acceleration inmhich case it isn't acceleration already.Originally posted by Martell21:hey guys need a little help in sec3 phy..hope u guys can help me..
