One horse pulls, with a force of X N, a cart of mass 800 kg along a horizontal road at constant speed. Three horses, each pulling with a force of X N, give the cart an acceleration of 0.8 m s. Find the time it would take two horses to increase the speed of the cart from 2 m s1 to 5 ms, given that each horse pulls with a force of X N, and that the resistance to motion has the same constant value at all times.

A motor-boat of mass 8 tonnes is travelling along a straight course with a constant speed of 28 km h1. The constant force driving the boat forward has magnitude 780 N. Find the force resisting motion, assumed constant. The engine is now shut off. Calculate, to the nearest second, the time it takes the motor-boat to stop, assuming that the resistance remains the same as before.

Introduction: In the given numerical scenario, we are presented with a motorboat of mass 8 tonnes moving along a straight course at a constant speed of 28 km/h. The boat is subjected to a constant forward force with a magnitude of 780 N. The primary objective is to determine the force resisting the motion, assumed … Read more

A porter is pushing a heavy crate of mass M kg along a horizontal floor with a horizontal force of 180 N. The resistance to motion has magnitude 3M newtons. Given that the acceleration of the crate is 0.45 m s2, find the value of M.

A porter is pushing Introduction: A porter is pushing In the presented numerical scenario, a porter exerts a horizontal force of 180 N to push a heavy crate along a horizontal floor. The crate has a mass denoted as M kg, and it encounters a resistance to motion with a magnitude of 3M newtons. The … Read more

A particle of mass 2.5 kg is pulled along a horizontal surface by a string parallel to the surface with an acceleration of 2.7 ms. Given that the frictional force resisting motion has magnitude 4 N, calculate the tension in the string. At the instant that the particle is moving with speed 3 ms, the string breaks. Calculate how much further the particle moves before coming to rest.
