Answer:

56250 N

Explanation:

mass, m = 6000 kg

initial speed, u = 20 m/s

final speed, v = 5 m/s

distance, s = 20 m

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

5 x 5 = 20 x 20 + 2 a x 20

25 = 400 + 40 a

a = - 9.375 m/s^2

Braking force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 6000 x 9.375

F = 56250 N

If a cell phone is dropped from a very tall building, how far has the phone fallen after 2.7 seconds, neglecting air resistance?
Zielflug [23.3K]
The free fall of the phone is an uniformly accelerated motion toward the ground, with constant acceleration equal to
g=9.81 m/s^2

So, assuming the downward direction as positive direction of the motion, since the phone starts from rest the distance covered by the phone after a time t is given by
y(t) =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
And if we substitute t=2.7 s, we find the distance covered:
y(t)=  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2=35.8 m
