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.

What is a Non-Example of Newton's 1st law?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Say a 14 year old girl was at a construction site and she was asked to move something like a 10,000 pound brick( one brick). She would be acting on it as the unbalanced force but they would still not change their position.

so to say the girl would be doing everything she could to move that brick but the brick would still be in that same spot so the unbalanced force (the girl) would be acting on the thing that was at rest but it wouldn't move.

so the unbalanced force would not really be acting on the thing at rest; even though the unbalanced force was doing something to the brick.

( just think about it and you will eventually get it...just imagine in your head...)

14.A 90 kg quarterback gets tackled by being hit by a 120 kg lineman backwards
quester [9]

The acceleration of the quarterback and the lineman is 5.55m/s² and 4.16m/s² respectively in the same direction.

As, we know, the 120 Kg lineman is moving with a force of 500N.

His net acceleration will be in the same direction as his motion.

It is already known that, If M is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the body, then the force F on the body can be calculated by using the formula,

F = Ma.

The weight of the quarterback is 90 Kg. He is being hit by a force of 500N.

So, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula,

500N = 90kg x a

a = 5.55 m/s².

Now, the weight if the lineman is 120kg, the force applied by him is 500N.

So, from the formula, his acceleration A will be,

500N = 120Kg x A

A = 4.16 m/s².

both of them will have acceleration in the same direction,
