Question

4. How much force is required to stop a 60 kg person traveling at 30 m/s during a time of a)
5.0 seconds
b) 0.50 seconds
c) 0.05 seconds

Answer 1

Explanation:

F = ma, and a = Δv / Δt.

F = m Δv / Δt

Given: m = 60 kg and Δv = -30 m/s.

a) Δt = 5.0 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (5.0 s)

F = -360 N

b) Δt = 0.50 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (0.50 s)

F = -3600 N

c) Δt = 0.05 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (0.05 s)

F = -36000 N

Answer 2

360N, 3600N and 36000N forces are required to stop a 60 kg person traveling at 30 m/s during a time of a)5.0 seconds, b) 0.50 seconds, c)0.05 seconds respectively.

To find the force, we need to know about the mathematical formulation of force.

What is force?

• According to Newton's second law of motion, force is defined as mass times acceleration.
• Its SI unit is Newton (N).

What is the mathematical formulation of force?

Mathematically, it is written as

F= m×a= m×(∆V/∆t)

What is the force needed to stop 60 kg person traveling at 30 m/s during a time of a)5.0 seconds, b) 0.50 seconds, c)0.05 seconds?

Here, initially the velocity of the person is 30m/s. But after applying the force, he came to rest. So his final velocity is 0 m/s. ∆V= 30m/s

When ∆t=5 seconds, F= 60×(30/5)=360N

When ∆t=0.5 seconds, F= 60×(30/0.5)=3600N

When ∆t=0.05 seconds, F= 60×(30/0.05)=36000N

Thus, we can conclude that 360N, 3600N and 36000N forces are required to stop a 60 kg person traveling at 30 m/s during a time of a)5.0 seconds, b) 0.50 seconds, c)0.05 seconds respectively.
