Answer:
<em>600N.</em>
Explanation:
From the question, we are to calculate the net force acting on the car.
According to Newton's second law of motion:
F = ma
m is the mass of the car
a is the acceleration = change in velocity/Time
a = v-u/t
F = m(v-u)/t
v is the final velocity = 30m/s
u is the initial velocity = 20m/s
t is the time = 5secs
m = 300kg
Get the net force:
Recall that: F = m(v-u)/t
F = 300(30-20)/5
F = 60(30-20)
F = 60(10)
<em>F = 600N</em>
<em>Hence the net force acting on the car is 600N.</em>

Explanation:
an object's gravitational potential energy Eg is m×g×h where:
m=mass
g=9.8m/s²
h=height relative to the closest object below it (because it cannot potentially fall through it
so Eg = 15×9.8×5=735J
Answer:
The displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m
Explanation:
Given;
velocity of the car, v = 12 m/s
acceleration of the car, a = -1.6 m/s² (backward acceleration)
time of motion, t = 6 s
The displacement of the car after 6s is given by the following kinematic equation;
d = ut + ¹/₂at²
d = (12 x 6) + ¹/₂(-1.6)(6)²
d = 72 - 28.8
d = 43.2 m
Therefore, the displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m
We would need to know how long it took to do the work.
Power = (work) / (time).
Answer:
Explanation:
If you drop a ball from
the top of a building it
gains speed as it falls.
• Every second, its
speed increases by
10 m/s.
• Also it does not fall
equal distances in
equal time intervals
• If the acceleration = 0 then the velocity is
constant. [remember that acceleration is
the rate of change of velocity]
• In this case the distance an object will
travel in a certain amount of time is given
by distance = velocity x time
• For example, if you drive at 60 mph for
one hour you go 60 mph x 1 hr = 60 mi.
