4 (a) (ii) A 2 kg ball is moving toward the east with an initial speed of 15 m s-1 on a rough plane, which is in a
horizontal position, and gradually slows down and stops after travelling 20 m. Find the net force acting on it.

m = 2 kg, v0 = 15 m s-1 (east), v = 0 (stop), s = 20 m, F =?

v2 = v02 + 2 as [1]

0 = 152 + 2  a  20
a = 5.625 m s-2 = -5.6 m s-2 [1]

F = ma = 2  (5.6) = 11.2 N [1 + 1]

The direction of the force is west. [1]
