a 1.2x10^3 kilogram car is accelerated uniformly from 10. meters per second to 20 meters per second in 5.0 seconds. what is the
irinina [24]
Force , F = ma

F =  m(v - u)/t               

Where m = mass in kg, v= final velocity in m/s, u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time, Force is in Newton.

m= 1.2*10³ kg,  u = 10 m/s,  v = 20 m/s, t = 5s

F =  1.2*10³(20 - 10)/5

F = 2.4*10³ N = 2400 N

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?
kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

here we know that total distance that man moved is

d_1 = 200 km

d_2 = 100 km

so total distance is

d = d_1 + d_2

d = 200 km + 100 km

d = 300 km

now here total time of the motion is

t_1 = 6 hours

t_2 = 4 hours

total time will be given as

t = t_1 + t_2

t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours

now by above formula

v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}

v_{avg} = 30 km/h

so his average speed is 30 km/h
