240(v+2.5)=1300-240v

240v+600=1300-240v

480v=1900

v=95/24

v-2.5=v-5/2

95/24-60/24=35/24

So the faster group travels at 95/24 mph (≈3.96 mph) and the slower group travels at 35/24 mph (≈1.46mph)

check...

240(95/24)=950 miles from the origin...

1300-240(35/24)=950 miles from the origin...

What force would be required to accelerate a 1,100 kg car to 0.5m/s?
ira [324]

Answer:

550 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

F is the force required to accelerate the car

m is the mass of the car

a is the acceleration of the car

In this problem, the mass is m=1100 kg, while the acceleration is a=0.5 m/s^2, therefore the force required to accelerate the car is

F=ma=(1100kg)(0.5m/s^{2} )=550N

Hope this helps!
