LAWS OF MOTION-1
A certain constant force starts acting on a body moving at a constant velocity v. After a time
interval t, the velocity of the body is reduced by half and after the same time interval the
velocity is again reduced by half. Determine the velocity of the body after a time interval 3t
from the moment when the constant force starts acting.
