Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A car with a mass of 1200 kg accelerates from rest to 30 m/s in 10 seconds. Calculate the force required to achieve this acceleration, assuming no friction.
💡 Hint: Break down the problem into finding acceleration first, then apply F = ma.
If a 15 kg object is subjected to a force of 45 N, what will be its acceleration? If the force is doubled, what will be the new acceleration?
💡 Hint: Calculate acceleration by dividing force by mass.
