STANDARD Physics Newton's Second Law MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A body of mass 5 kg starts from the origin with an initial velocity u = (30î + 40ĵ) m s⁻¹. If a constant force (-6î - 5ĵ) N acts on the body, the time in which the y-component of the velocity becomes zero is
A
5 s
B
20 s
C
40 s
D
80 s
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The force causes a deceleration in the y-direction of 1 m s⁻². Using v = u + at, where v = 0, u = 40 m s⁻¹, and a = -1 m s⁻², we find t = 40 s.
