Question

Jennifer works for an automaker and tests the safety performance of cars. she watches a 2,000-kilogram car crash into a wall with a force of 30,000 newtons. what’s the acceleration of the car at impact? use f = ma. the car accelerates at a rate of meters/second2 at impact.

Answer 1

The acceleration of the car at impact is 15m/s².

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Newton's second law provides a precise explanation of the modifications that a force can make to a body's motion. According to this, a body's momentum changes at a rate that is equal to the force acting on it over time in both magnitude and direction. A body's momentum is equal to the sum of its mass and velocity. Similar to velocity, momentum has both a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity.

acceleration - rate of change of velocity with time, both in terms of speed and direction. A point or object going straight forward is accelerated when it accelerates or decelerates.

There are three types of accelerated motions :

• uniform acceleration,
• non-uniform acceleration
• average acceleration.

express all the units in their most basic form.

kg, newton = kg*m/s², acceleration =m/s²

$\frac{ 30000 kg*m/s^{2} }{ 2000 kg} = 15m/s^{2}$
