Answer:
4960 N
Explanation:
First, find the acceleration.
Given:
v₀ = 6.33 m/s
v = 2.38 m/s
Δx = 4.20 m
Find: a
v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
(2.38 m/s)² = (6.33 m/s)² + 2a (4.20 m)
a = -4.10 m/s²
Next, find the force.
F = ma
F = (1210 kg) (-4.10 m/s²)
F = -4960 N
The magnitude of the force is 4960 N.
A scalar quantity is a measurement of a quantity, like temperature, or mass.
