A constant force acts on an 8 kg object for 3 s, increasing its velocity from 4 m/s to 6 m/s. What is the magnitude of the force?
- 4.33 N
- 6.33 N
- 5.33 N
- 3.33 N
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 5.33 N
1. Acceleration a = (6 − 4) / 3 = 2/3 m/s².
2. Force F = m × a = 8 × 2/3.
3. F = 16/3 ≈ 5.33 N.
