Answer to Question #156632 in Physics for Arvin Shopon

Question

The body is affected by a total horizontal force of 0.75 m, the magnitude of which can be modeled according to the attached graph. How much speed does the body gain from the force when the body is initially at rest and has a mass of 1.20 kg?

Answer 1

If a force of 0.75 N is applied to a 1.2 kg-body, the acceleration will be (we apply Newton's second law):

$$a=\frac Fm=0.625\text{ m/s}^2.$$
