A body weighing 5 kg is located on a horizontal plane. The body began to move in the direction of the resultant and, having covered a path of 10 m, acquired a speed of movement of 10 m / s. Determine the resultant forces acting on the body.

Task data: m (body weight) = 5 kg; S (distance traveled) = 10 m; V (acquired speed) = 10 m / s.

To find the acting resultant force, we use Newton’s second law: F = m * a = m * V ^ 2 / 2S.

Let’s perform the calculation: F = 5 * 10 ^ 2 / (2 * 10) = 25 N.

Answer: The resultant force that imparted motion to the body is 25 N.
