A body of mass is accelerated upon by a constant force, travels a distance of
in the first second and a distance of
in the third second. The force acting on the body is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
: The force is constant, i.e., the acceleration is constant. The distance is decreasing with time. Therefore it is retardation.
second
(i)
second
(ii)
(i) - (ii) gives (1/2)
Constant force
(This is a retarding force as is negative)
