Question

4. A 1,000 kg truck moving at 10 m/s runs into a concrete wall. It takes 0.5 seconds for the truck to conipietery

Answer 1

H .multiply the numbers

Answer 2

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{h. 20 000 N}}$  

Explanation:

Force is the change in momentum over time

F = Δp/Δt

1. Calculate the change in momentum

p₁ = mv₁ = 1000 kg × 10 m/s = 10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

p₂ = 0

Δp = p₂ - p₁= (0 - 10 000) kg·m·s⁻¹ = -10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

2. Calculate the force

$\begin{array}{rcl}F & = & \dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\& = & \dfrac{-10 000 \text{ kg \cdot m \cdot s}^{-1}}{\text{ 0.5 s}}\\\\& = & \textbf{-20 000 N}\\\end{array}\\\text{The negative sign shows that the force is exerted opposite to the direction of motion.}\\\text{The magnitude of the force is \large \boxed{\textbf{20 000 N}} }$
