The braking distance is given by
Explanation:
When the driver of a car hits the pedal of the brakes, the car starts decelerating until it stops. Assuming the deceleration is constant, then the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:
where
u is the initial speed of the car
v is the final speed of the car, which is zero because the car comes to rest:
v = 0
a is the acceleration of the car
s is the distance travelled by the car during the deceleration, so it is the braking distance
Therefore, re-arranging the equation for s, we find an expression for the braking distance:
Note that the sign of is negative since the car is decelerating, therefore the final sign of
is positive.

Position of the particle,
(a) The toque on a particle about the origin is given by :
Taking the cross product of above two vectors, we get the value of torque as :
(b) Let is the angle between r and F. The angle between two vectors is given by :
Answer: The net force acting on the car 1,299.3 N.
Explanation:
Mass of the car = 710 kg
Initial velocity of the car of the ,u= 37 km/h= 10.27 m/s
Final velocity of the car,v = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s
time taken b y car = 12.6 sec
v-u=at
The net force acting on the car 1,299.3 N.
