Two forces of 25 N and 16 N act on a body of mass 1.0 kg. The minimum acceleration will be

A

25`(ms)^(-2)`

B

16`(ms)^(-2)`

C

9`(ms)^(-2)`

D

41`(ms)^(-2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Resultant force is minimum when forces act in opposite directions. Minimum force will generate minim acceleration in a mass.
Minimum acceleration = `("minimum resultant force")/("mass") = (25-16)/1 = 9 m//s^2`

What is the weight of a body of mass 10 kg?

m_1 and m_2 are the masses of two bodies. When a force of 5 N is applied on each body, m_1 gets an acceleration of 10 m//s^2 and m_2 , 20 m//s^2 . If the two bodies are tied together and the same force is applied, find the acceleration of the combined system.

A constant retarding force of 50 N is applied to a body of mass 20kg moving initially with a speed of 15ms^(-1) . How long does the body take to stop?
