OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the equation W.D= Force * distance and the answer was correct, but how do we find this using F=ma

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So did you find the force in 2B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mv^2/2 = -W.D = Force * distance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v = v at point B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep 6667N

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to find the acceleration in this @ArchiePhysics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

average acceleration = average force / mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the mass is given 85 kg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh but the acceleration?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok let's make it clear. What do you need to find? Is that acceleration instanteous acceleration through path form B to P?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to find the Force using the equation F=ma...I need to know the acceleration for that...the method to find the acceleraton

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are given initial velocity u at point B, distance and assuming that acceleration is constant you can find it, using kinematics equation. s = ut+at^2/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u = at

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry u = -at

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where is time? then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t = u/-a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then acceleration we dint find right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cn u solve this and show

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't have any paper right now, if you will wait for 5 minutes yes, I will show you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using the two equations I gave you, you can derive this formula a = - u^2/(2s)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can we do this without the use of kinematics...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If not kinematics then only energy - work approach, but you declined it at the beginning.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh alright...but i am doin grade 10, and in the marking scheme it s provided...F=ma, so i thought f finding an easy one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. I see.
