Answer:
5600N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of car = 700kg
Initial velocity = 10m/s
Final velocity = 30m/s
Displacement = 50m
Unknown:
Net force acting on the car = ?
Solution:
To find the force acting on a body, it is pertinent we know the mass and acceleration.
Force = mass x acceleration
Now;
Let us find the acceleration from the kinematics equations:
v² = u² + 2aS
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
S is the distance
30² = 10² + (2 x a x 50)
900 = 100 + 100a
100a = 800
a = 8m/s²
Therefore;
Force = 700 x 8 = 5600N
