Answer:
Fnet = 14515.2 Newton
Explanation:
Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.
Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;
Where;
- Fnet is the net force.
- Fapp is the applied force.
- Fg is the force due to gravitation.
Given the following data;
Mass = 1,152 kg
Initial velocity, u = 3m/s
Final velocity, v = 17m/s
Time, t = 5 seconds
To find the magnitude of the net force;
First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the car.
Acceleration = (v-u)/t
Acceleration = (17 - 3)/5
Acceleration = 14/5
Acceleration = 2.8m/s
To find the applied force;
Fapp = mass * acceleration
Fapp = 1,152 * 2.8
Fapp = 3225.6 N
Next, we would find the force exerted on the car due to gravity.
Fg = mass * acceleration due to gravity
We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²
Fg = 1152 * 9.8
Fg = 11289.6N
Substituting the values into the equation, we have;
Fnet = 3225.6 + 11289.6
Fnet = 14515.2 Newton
