A constant force acting on a body of mass 3.0 kg changes its speed from 2.0 m/s to 3.5 m/s in 25 s. The direction of the motion of the body remains unchanged. What is the magnitude and direction of the force?


Given,
m=3kg
u=2 m/s
v=3.5 m/s
t=25 s
As v=u+at
a=v-ut
Now,  F=ma=m(v-ut)
F=3.0(3.5-2.0)25
=0.18 N   (Along the direction of motion)
