To solve for m (mass) and V (velocity), we'll use the following equations:
- F = m * a (Newton's second law of motion)
- V = U + a * t (equation for velocity)
Given: F = 2 N U = 3 m/s a = 0.5 m/s t = 2 s
Solving for m (mass): From equation 1, we have: F = m * a 2 N = m * 0.5 m/s^2
Divide both sides by 0.5 m/s^2: 2 N / 0.5 m/s^2 = m m = 4 kg
Therefore, the mass (m) is 4 kg.
Solving for V (velocity): From equation 2, we have: V = U + a * t V = 3 m/s + 0.5 m/s * 2 s
Performing the multiplication: V = 3 m/s + 1 m/s V = 4 m/s
Therefore, the velocity (V) is 4 m/s.
