Question: "On an object of mass 1 kg moving along x axis with constant speed 8 m/s, a constant force 2N is applied in positive y direction. Find its speed after 4 seconds." Answer: v x = 8 m/s (constant along x-axis) v y = 0 (Initially) After 4s, Speed along y-axis, = 0 + a y t = 2 × 4 = 8 m/s After 4s, Hence, the magnitude of velocity (speed) after = =

Question:  "On an object of mass 1 kg moving along x axis with constant speed 8 m/s, a constant

force 2N is applied in positive y direction. Find its speed after 4 seconds."

Answer: vx = 8 m/s (constant along x-axis)

vy = 0 (Initially)

After 4s, Speed along y-axis, = 0 + ayt

= 2 × 4

= 8 m/s

After 4s,

Hence, the magnitude of velocity (speed) after

=

=
