The center of mass of the car with all people seated will be 3.20 m far from the front of the car.

Taking the front of the car as reference:

m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃ = mx

where,

m₁ = mass of empty car = 1300 kg

x₁ = distance of center of mass of empty car from front = 2.45 m

m₂ = mass of 2 people sitting in front = 2 x 60 kg = 120 kg

x₂ = distance of center of mass of 2 people sitting in front from the front    = 2.7 m

m₃ = mass of 3 people sitting in back seat = 3 x 60 kg = 180 kg

x₃ = distance of center of mass of 3 people sitting in the back seat from the front = 3.65 m

m = total mass of car with all people = 1300 kg + 120 kg + 180 kg = 1600kg

x = distance of center of mass of the car from the front when all are seated

Therefore,

(1300 kg)(2.45 m) + (120 kg)(2.7 m) + (180kg)(3.65 m) = (1300 kg)x

x = 4166 kg.m/1300 kg

x = 3.20 m

Therefore, the center of mass of the car with all people seated will be 3.20 m far from the front of the car.

RSB [31]

Answer:

Given:

m=1000kg

u= 16.7m/s

v=0m/s

F=8000N

Required:

s=?

Solution:

F=m × a

8000N=1000kg × a

a=8m/s^2

Since it decelerate a= -8m/s^2

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

s=v^2 - u^2 / 2a

s= 0 - (16.7m/s)^2 / 2 × -8m/s^2

s= -278.89/-16

s= 17.43m

The car travels approximately 17.43m before it stops
