A 15Kg mass is accelerated from rest with a force of 100N. As it moves faster, friction and air resistance create an oppositely directed retarding force given by FR=A+BV . Where  A=25 N and B= 0.5Nm/s .  At what velocity does the acceleration equal to one half of the initial acceleration  ?

a
25ms−1
b
50ms−1
c
75ms−1
d
100ms−1

detailed solution

Correct option is B

FR=A+BV=25+0.5V When u=0  F−FR=ma 100−25−0.5V0=15a a=5ms−2  (initial acceleration)F−FR=ma1   where a1=a2 100−25−0.5V=15×52 752=0.5V               V=75ms−1
