A constant retarding force of 50 N is applied to a body of mass 20 kg moving initially with a speed of 15 ms–1. How long does the body take to stop?

Retarding Force, F = - 50 N

Mass of the body, m = 20 kg

Initial velocity of the body, u = 15 m/s

Final velocity of the body, v = 0

Acceleration produced in the body can be calculated as:

F = ma

-50 = 20 x a

a =

Using the first equation of motion,

v = u + at

Time (
t) taken by the body to come to rest can be calculated as,

Therefore,

t =

When the branches of an apple tree are shaken, the apples fall down. Why?

The apple fall from an apple tree when it shaken because of inertia of rest. Apple is in a state of rest and when the tree is suddenly shaken, apples still tends to remain in it's same state of rest whereas branches move.

So, the apples fall down.
