    Newtons second law about momemtum

    Homework Statement a mass of 10kg, initially at rest, is acted on by a force of 10N for 10 s. What is the final velocity of the mass? Homework Equations i think this equation should help: F= change in momentum/ time The Attempt at a Solution hey everyone i am out of school so...

    Solve Acceleration Problem: Car Starts at Rest & Travels 200m

    ok so that would be something like this right? metres would be 80X 1000= 80000m seconds would be 60X60 = 3600s dividing them would give you 22.2 m/s when i use the equation above i would get 22.2 X 22.2 = 400a 492.84/ 400 = 1.2 metres per second! yea! thank you much ! i truly truly...

    Solve Acceleration Problem: Car Starts at Rest & Travels 200m

    ALRIGHT 80 x 80= 0 x 0 + 2(a)(200) 6400 = 400 a a= 16? the book i has says that the answer is 1.2 metres/second...i don't see where i went wrong or how i went wrong. sorry if this seems so simple but please help. it would be greatly appreciated

    Solve Acceleration Problem: Car Starts at Rest & Travels 200m

    so are you meaning the equation v squared= u squared + 2as??...let me try. sometimes i get so mixed up because i don't know which equation t use and i f i do figure which equation to use i sometimes mess it up and cause my answer to be wrong. any tips with this please? thank you...i tried that...
