What average force is required to stop a 1400 kg car in 6.0 s if the car is traveling at 90 km/h ? Express your answer to two si

gnificant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the force is in the direction of the initial velocity and negative value if the direction of the force is in the direction opposite to the initial velocity.

Answer:

F=5833.3 N N

Explanation:

Newton's second law applied to the car

F= m*a Formula (1)

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m : mass in kg

a: acceleration ( m/s²)

kinematics car

vf= v₀ + a*t Formula (2)

vf : final velocity (m/s)

v₀ : final velocity (m/s)

a : acceleration ( m/s²)

t : time t

Equivalences

1 km= 1000m

1 h = 3600 s

Data

m= 1000kg

v₀ = 90 km/h = 90*1000/3600 m/s = 25 m/s

vf= 0

t= 6 s

Problem Development

We calculate the acceleration replacing the data in the formula (2) :

0 = 25 + a*6

a= -25/6 = -4.16 m/s² ( The negative sign indicates that the car is braking)

We calculate the force is required to stop the car replacing the data in the formula (1)

-F = 1400 kg*(-4.16 m/s²)

F=5833.3 N

A golf club exerts an average horizontal force of 1000 n on a 0.045 -kg golf ball that is initially at rest on the tee. the club

OlgaM077 [116]

The impulse (the variation of momentum of the ball) is related to the force applied by
$\Delta p = F \Delta t$
where $\Delta p$ is the variation of momentum, F is the intensity of the force and $\Delta t$ is the time of application of the force.
Using F=1000 N and $\Delta t = 1.8 ms=1.8 \cdot 10^{-3}s$ , we can find the variation of momentum:
$\Delta p = (1000 N)(1.8 \cdot 10^{-3} s)=1.8 kg m/s$

This $\Delta p$ can be rewritten as
$\Delta p = p_f - p_i = mv_f - mv_i$
where $p_f$ and $p_i$ are the final and initial momentum. But the ball is initially at rest, so the initial momentum is zero, and
$\Delta p = mv_f$
from which we find the final velocity of the ball:
$v_f = \frac{\Delta p }{m}= \frac{1.8 kg m/s}{0.045 kg}= 40 m/s$

Simlarity between longitudanal and transverse waves

babymother [125]

For transverse waves, the waves move in perpendicular direction to the source of vibration. For longitudinal waves, the waves move in parallel direction to the source of vibration . They are similar in the sense that energy is transferred in the form of waves.
