Hi there!
We can use Newton's Second Law:
ΣF = Net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
We can rearrange the equation to solve for the acceleration.
Which is longer, 10 cm or .01 m?

Answer:
<em>The force required is 3,104 N</em>
Explanation:
<u>Force</u>
According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:
F = ma
Where a is the acceleration of the object.
On the other hand, the equations of the Kinematics describe the motion of the object by the equation:
Where:
vf is the final speed
vo is the initial speed
a is the acceleration
t is the time
Solving for a:
We are given the initial speed as vo=20.4 m/s, the final speed as vf=0 (at rest), and the time taken to stop the car as t=7.4 s. The acceleration is:
The acceleration is negative because the car is braking (losing speed). Now compute the force exerted on the car of mass m=1,126 kg:
F= 3,104 N
The force required is 3,104 N
Answer:
ax = -3.29[m/s²]
ay = -1.9[m/s²]
Explanation:
We must remember that acceleration is a vector and therefore has magnitude and direction.
In this case, it is accelerating downwards, therefore for a greater understanding we will make a diagram of said vector, this diagram is attached.
