A body weighing 6 kg, which began to move under the influence of a constant force

A body weighing 6 kg, which began to move under the influence of a constant force, traveled 15 m in the first second. Determine the magnitude of the force.

Task data: m (body weight) = 6 kg; S (the path covered by the body in question in the first second) = 15 m.

1) We calculate the acceleration with which the body under consideration began to move: S = a * t ^ 2/2, whence a = 2S / t ^ 2 = 2 * 15/12 = 30 m / s2.

2) Determine the magnitude of the acting force: F = m * a = 6 * 30 = 180 N.

Answer: The body in question began to move under the action of a force of 180 N.
