time will be 6sec.. because from f=ma we find acceleration .Which is retarded means (-). Then put according to question.in ist equation of motion. V=0. And u given we know acceleration (a) then find.time.. very easily...

change the world with your mind

retardation = - 50/20 = - 2.5 m/s u= 15 m/s, v = 0 m/s v = u - at 0 = 15 - 2.5 ( t ) t = 15 / 2.5 t = 6 sec.

force exerts deceleration in body which can be find by F=ma 52=20xa a=2.5ms-2 the deceleration is 2.5ms-2 to find time taken to stop the mass, we can use newton equation of motion v=u+at 0=15-2.2t t=15/2.5 t=6s. therefore it would take 6 seconds to stop the mass

A railway carriage of mass 9000 kg moving with a speed of 36 kmph collides with stationary carriage of the same mass. After the collision, the carriages get coupled and moved together. What is their common speed after collision? What type of collision is this?
The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1=...
