In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:
Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:
where,
v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)
vo: initial speed = 36m/s
x: distance traveled = 980m
a: deceleration of the car= ?
Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:
Next, consider that the formula for the force is:
where,
m: mass of the car = 820 kg
a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2
Replace the previous values and simplify:
Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N
