Question 1 Report

A 24N force acts on a body such that it changes its velocity from 5m/s to 9m/s in 2 secs.If the body is travelling in a straight line, calculate the distance covered in the period.

Answer Details
The problem involves finding the distance covered by a body when a force is applied to it and it changes its velocity from an initial value to a final value over a period of time. The force acting on the body is 24N and the change in velocity is (9 - 5)m/s = 4m/s. The time taken for this change is 2 seconds. Using the formula, distance = (initial velocity + final velocity) * time / 2, we can calculate the distance covered by the body. Substituting the given values, we get distance = (5m/s + 9m/s) * 2s / 2 = 14m Therefore, the distance covered by the body is 14m. Answer: 14m
