☯ <u>Using 1st equation of motion </u>











☯ <u>Now, Finding the force exerted </u>







☯ <u>Hence</u>, 

Answer:
The law of inertia
Explanation:
A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force
Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:
KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J
Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:
F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N
