A 5 kg block is moving with 10 m/s on a frictionless surface. What force is required to stop it in 2 s?
Q1. A 5 kg block is moving with 10 m/s on a frictionless surface. What force is required to stop it in 2 s?
Answer: -25 N
Explanation: F = ma = m * (v - u) / t = 5 * (0 - 10) / 2 = -25 N, using Newton's second law of motion.
