A force of 10 N acts to the left and a force of 5 N acts to the right on an object of mass 1 kg. If its initial speed is zero , what is its velocity after 1 second ?

Answer :

Answer: -5 m/s

Explanation:

First find the net force by summing up the forces:

-10N + 5N = -5N

Use Newton's Second Law of motion to solve for the acceleration:

F = ma

-5N = 1kg(a)

a = -5 m/s^2

Use the first kinematic equation to solve for the final velocity:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 + (-5)(1)

Vf = -5 m/s
