Q 16.

A car weighs 1500 kg.Its speed time graph is shown in Fig. Calculate the force required at the end of 5 seconds to bring the car to a stop within one second.

Q 17.

Using second law of motion, derive the relation between force and acceleration.

Q 18.

A TV set is lying on a table. The TV set experiences a gravitational force (pull)  downwards (FW) by the Earth. It also experiences a force on it due to table in contact i.e. (FTable-TV) in upward direction. Do these forces form an action-reaction pair? Do these forces follow Newton's third Law of motion?

Q 19.

Can balanced forces change the shape and size of an object?

Q 20.
