The net force on the car for either case will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

<h3>Net force on the car</h3>

The net force on the car is the sum of all the forces acting on the car.

∑F = ma

<h3>When the car is on a level road</h3>

When the car is on a level road, the only two forces acting on the car is the applied force and frictional force of the road.

F - Ff = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

<h3>When the car is on uphill</h3>

The forces acting on the car at the uphill is the applied force, weight of the car acting downwards and the frictional force acting opposite direction.

F - Wsinθ - μFₙcosθ = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

A car is traveling at 70 km/h. It then uniformly decelerates to a complete stop in 12 s. Find its acceleration ( in m/s2 ).

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Acceleration will be $-1.620m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given initial speed of the car is 70 km/hr

We know that 1 km = 1000 m

And 1 hour = 3600 sec

So $70km/hr=70\times \frac{1000m}{3600sec}=19.444m/sec$

It is given that car stops in 12 sec

So final speed of the car v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 12 sec

From first equation of motion v = u+at

So $0=19.444+a\times 12$

$a=\frac{-19.444}{12}=-1.620m/sec^2$ ( negative sign indicates that speed of the car will constantly decrease )

By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:
