<span>Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.</span>

What force in Newton is required to accelerate a car starting from rest to 20 m/s in 15 seconds if the mass of the car is 2500 k
Lyrx [107]

We will solve this question using the second law of motion which states that force is directly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

\sf \: F=ma

Where,

  • F is force
  • m is mass
  • a is acceleration

In our case,

  • F = ?
  • m = 2500 kg
  • a = 20m/s

\tt \: F_{net}  = 2500 \times 20 \\   \tt= 50000

<em>Thus, The force of 50000 Newton is required to accelerate a car of 2500 kg...~</em>

a 1.2x10^3 kilogram car is accelerated uniformly from 10. meters per second to 20 meters per second in 5.0 seconds. what is the
irinina [24]
Force , F = ma

F =  m(v - u)/t               

Where m = mass in kg, v= final velocity in m/s, u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time, Force is in Newton.

m= 1.2*10³ kg,  u = 10 m/s,  v = 20 m/s, t = 5s

F =  1.2*10³(20 - 10)/5

F = 2.4*10³ N = 2400 N

a roller coaster begins at the top of a hill if it acelerates at the rate of 2 m/s2 and has a mass of 2000 kg what net force is
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4000 \ Newtons }}

Explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

F=m*a

The mass of the roller coaster is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

m= 2000 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2

Substitute the values into the formula.

F= 2000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

F= 4000  \ kg*m/s^2

  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 N
  • Therefore our answer of 4000 kg*m/s² is equal to 4000 Newtons

F= 4000 \ N

The net force acting on the roller coaster is <u>4000 Newtons.</u>
