Answer:

4.44 kN in the opposite direction of acceleration.

Explanation:

Given that, the initial speed of the car is, u=20m/s

And the mass of the car is, m=1000 kg

The total distance covered by the car before stop, s=45m

And the final speed of the car is, u=0m/s

Now initial kinetic energy is,

KE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}mu^{2}

Substitute the value of u and m in the above equation, we get

KE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}(1000kg)\times (20)^{2}\\KE_{i}=20000J

Now final kinetic energy is,

KE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Substitute the value of v and m in the above equation, we get

KE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}(1000kg)\times (0)^{2}\\KE_{i}=0J

Now applying work energy theorem.

Work done= change in kinetic energy

Therefore,

F.S=KE_{f}-KE_{i}\\F\times 45=(0-200000)J\\F=\frac{-200000J}{45}\\ F=-4444.44N\\F=-4.44kN

Here, the force is negative because the force and acceleration in the opposite direction.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given that the battery is the same the PD ( potential difference ) in the circuit will also be the same likewise the flow of charge in the circuit,

Hence the same amount of charge flow is delivered to any circuit.

Why is gravity so weird? .
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Why is gravity so weird? No force is more familiar than gravity — it's what keeps our feet on the ground, after all. And Einstein's theory of general relativity gives a mathematical formulation for gravity, describing it as a “warping” of space.
