Solution
A constant force of magnitude F acts on an object of mass 0.04kg initially at rest at a point O. if the speed of the object when it has moved 50m from O is 500ms-1, what is the value of F?
A
0.4N
B
100.0N
C
250.0N
D
1000.0N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
F = ma and V2 = U2 + 2aX
F = m\(\frac{(V^2 - U^2)}{2X}\)
= 0.04\(\frac{(500^2 - 0^2)}{2 \times 50}\)
F = 100N

Solution
A 1000kg elevator is descending vertically with an acceleration of 1.0ms-2, if the acceleration due to gravity is 10ms-2, the tension in the suspending cable is
A
1.0N
B
10.0N
C
9000.0N
D
11 000N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
T = , m = 1000kg, a = 1\(ms^{-1}\), g = 10\(ms^{-2}\)
W - T = ma
T = W - ma
T = mg - ma
T = m( g - a )
T = 1000( 10 - 1) = 1000 x 9 = 9000N.
