Answer:
F = -0.5 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of an egg, m = 25 g = 0.025 kg
Initial speed, u = 4 m/s
Final speed, v = 0 (it stops)
Time, t = 0.2 s
We need to find the average force exerted on the egg. The force is given by :
F = ma
[tex]F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.025\times (0-4)}{0.2}\\\\F=-0.5\ N[/tex]
So, the average force exerted on the egg is (-0.5 N).
