You are thinking correctly. You are trying to find V, you know V0, and you know t. You now just need to find 'a' from Newton's 2nd law.JohnnyB212 said:Homework Statement
A 1.0 kg object, moving with a constant velocity of 2.0 m/s, is acted upon by a force of 15 N in the direction of the motion for 6.0 s. What is the velocity (in meters/second) of the object at the end of this time?
Homework Equations
I was thinking of using, V = Vo + at but at the same time it doesn't make sense to me in finding the solution
help!
A constant velocity is a type of motion where an object maintains a consistent speed and direction without any acceleration.
Newton's first law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. In the case of constant velocity, there is no net external force acting on the object, so it will continue to move at a constant speed and direction.
No, if an object is already in motion at a constant velocity, it will continue to move at that speed and direction without any additional force being applied.
Yes, as long as the net external force on the object is equal to zero, it will continue to move at a constant velocity. This can occur if multiple forces are acting on the object in opposite directions, canceling each other out.
Newton's second law states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. In the case of constant velocity, since there is no acceleration, the net external force on the object must be zero, as stated in the first law. This means that the mass of the object does not affect its constant velocity.
