Weight of the stone is balanced by the reaction of the floor. The only acceleration is provided by the horizontal motion of the train.
a = 1ms-2
force in horizontal direction
F = ma = 0.1 x 1 = 0.1N
Give the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on a stone of mass 0.1 kg lying on the floor of a train which is accelerating with 1 m , the stone being at rest relative to the train. Neglect air resistance.
Weight of the stone is balanced by the reaction of the floor. The only acceleration is provided by the horizontal motion of the train.

force in horizontal direction
F = ma = 0.1 x 1 = 0.1N
A constant retarding force of 50 N is applied to a body of mass 20 kg moving initially with a speed of 15 m . How long does the body take to stop?
Let F1 = 8N & F2 = 6 N.
then the resultant force is
=
= 10N
The direction is determined as
= 6/8
therefore
