An experimental electromagnetic shuttle travels along a straight, horizontal vacuum track. The shuttle accelerates from a speed of 1.2 m s-1 to 4.8 m s-1 with a constant acceleration of 0.60 m s-2.
During this acceleration, the work done on the shuttle by the constant resultant horizontal force is 153 J.
Calculate the magnitude of this resultant force.
Practise AQA GCSE Physics Forces and motion with exam-style questions for Foundation and Higher tier. 83 questions covering Describing motion along a line, Forces, accelerations and Newton's Laws of motion, and Forces and braking, matched to the AQA GCSE Physics (8463) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
