An object has a constant velocity of 20 m/s to the north, and there are two forces acting on it. what is this situation called

When an object move with a constant velocity and there are forces acting on it, this is called unbalanced force. The forces acting on an object is a net force, which is capable of changing speed and/or direction of motion of an object. However, the two forces acting on the object can be added together to give the resultant force, which is a single force that has the same effect on the object as all the individual forces acting together.

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

the right answer is 0.3 meters per second
