if 1 banana = 1 banana x 1 meter/second x 1 second

how many bananas would you have if you started with 0 bananas
and you picked up 1 banana each second for 50 seconds and you traveled a distance of 1000 meters.


1 banana x 50 seconds = 50 bananas

why would you say 50 banana seconds or 50 Bs

what if you picked up 80 bananas each second?

80 bananas x 50 seconds = 4000 bananas

how far did you travel to pick up the 4000 bananas?

1000 meters

how fast was your acceleration while you were picking up bananas

.8 m/s/s


if 1 banana = 1 banana x 1 meter/second x 1 second

then you should be able to pick up 1000 bananas in 1000 seconds if you picked up 1 banana each second.

or you should be able to pick up 1000 bananas in 1000 meters if you picked up 1 banana each meter.

but if you really hurry you can pick up

4000 bananas in 50 seconds if you pick up 80 bananas each second.

how many bananas would you have if you picked up 4000 bananas in 50 seconds?

4000 bananas

not 4000 banana seconds

how many newtons would you apply if you applied 80 newtons
each second for 50 seconds?
80N x 50 seconds = 4000N

not 4000 Ns







wrong , it is the 80N force applied to the pipe for 50 seconds.

the force is 4000N

a force is any influence that causes an object to undergo a change in speed

the force of 80N influenced the pipe to undergo a change in speed.

this force was applied for 50 seconds.

80N x 50 seconds = 4000N

not 4000Ns

what if I had applied the 80N force to the mass for only 1 second.

80N x 1 second = 80N

what if I had applied the 80N force to the mass for only 0 seconds.

80N x 0 second = 0N

when I originaly wrote what I wrote my purpose was to communicate that the total force applied to get the 100kg mass to travel the 1000 meter distance with a final velocity of 40 m/s in 50 seconds was 4000N
