Answer:
The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force
Explanation:
Kinetic energy will be given by
where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.
Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain
Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by
where d is the distance moved
Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain
Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N
