v2= u2+ 2as 02= 502+ 2(a)(0.1) a = -12500m/s2 F = ma = 0.020 x (-12500) = -250N The answer is 250N, not -250N. A retarding force is negative in connotation.

impulse=change in momentum t=dist./speed=.1/50=.002 sec impulse=force*time =F*t change in momentum=0-mu=-.02*50=-1 therefore ,F=-1/.0002=5000N

v2-u2=2as 0=2500+2a[0.1] a= -12500 f=ma =0.020[12500] =-250N
