Questlon 7 of 10 Which object will require the greatest amount of force to change its motion?
O A. A 72 kg object moving 25 m/s
O B. A 55 kg object moving 32 m/s
OC. A 75 kg object moving 22 m/s
O D. A 63 kg object moving 27 m/s

A 72 kg object moving 25 m/s will require the greatest amount of force

Given

mass of object and the velocity

Required

the greatest amount of force

Solution

Newton's 2nd law :

∑F = m. a  

F = force, N  

m = mass = kg  

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²  

Assuming the object is moving from rest (vo = 0) and the time needed to reach its velocity is the same (delta t = equal), it can be formulated:

So the force on an object depends on the product of its mass and velocity

Or if we use the impulse and momentum formula

So that we determine which is the greatest from the multiplication of mass and velocity will produce the greatest force as well

A 72 x 25 = 1800

B. 55 x 32 =1760

C. 75 x 22 = 1650

D.63 x 27 = 1701

Option A has the greatest force
