Question

In the outer space, a constant force is applied to a 32.5 kg probe initially at rest. The probe moves a distance of 100 m in 10 s. Could some one show me the step to step on how to find
(a) What acceleration does this force produce?
(b) What is the magnitude of the force?

average velocity= 100/10 = 10 m/s
but average velocity= (vf+vo)/2=vf/2 so vf=20m/s
vf^2=vo^2+2ad
20^2=2*a*100
solve for a.
force= mass*a

a. V = d/t = 100m/10s = 10 m/s.
V = Vo + a*t = 10.
0 + a*10 = 10,
a = 1 m/s^2.
Henry
F = M*a
