Newton's 2nd law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side
by 'acceleration': Mass = (force) / (acceleration)
= (2,500 N) / (200 m/s²)
= 12.5 kg
Answer:
The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
Explanation:
Given;
coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84
speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s
To determine the the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;
v² = u² + 2ax
where;
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
x is the shortest distance
First we determine a;
From Newton's second law of motion
∑F = ma
F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car
-Fk = ma
but, -Fk = -μN
-μN = ma
-μmg = ma
-μg = a
- 0.8 x 9.8 = a
-7.84 m/s² = a
Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above
v² = u² + 2ax
when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0
0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x
0 = 841 - 15.68x
15.68x = 841
x = 841 / 15.68
x = 53.64 m
Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

We know the formula for density = Mass/ volume
So Mass, M = Volume * Density
Volume = 3.5 L= 0.0035
Density = 1.50 g/ml = 1500 
Mass, M = 0.0035*1500 = 5.25 kg
So mass of liquid having density 1.50 g/ml and volume 3.5 liters is 5.25 kg.
Assuming that’s a right triangle, in this case A^2 + C^2 = B^2 … (16)^2 + C^2 = (25)^2 … C = 19.2 N
