STANDARD Physics Force and Acceleration MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A constant force acting on a body of mass of 5 kg change its speed from 5 m s⁻¹ to 10 m s⁻¹ in 10 s without changing the direction of motion. The force acting on the body is

A

1.5 N

B

2 N

C

2.5 N

D

5 N

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Here, m = 5 kg, u = 5 m s⁻¹, v = 10 m s⁻¹, t = 10 s. Using v = u + at, a = (v - u) / t = (10 - 5) m s⁻¹ / 10 s = 0.5 m s⁻². As F = ma, F = 5 kg × 0.5 m s⁻² = 2.5 N.
