A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes

and the car comes to a rest uniformly in a distance of 160 m. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force applied to the car to bring it to rest?

Answer:

Force applied to stop the car = 1,250 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of car (M) = 1,000 kg

Initial velocity (U) = 20 m/s

Final velocity (V) = 0 m/s

Distance (S) = 160 m

Find:

Force applied to stop the car.

Computation:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\0^2=20^2+2(a)(160)\\\\0=400+320(a)\\\\Acceleration = a = -1.25m/s^2\\\\Force = ma \\\\Force= 1,000(1.25)\\\\Force = 1,250 N

Force applied to stop the car = 1,250 N

Which one of the following types of training involves 10 to 30 minutes of high-intensity exercise?
Goshia [24]

Correct answer choice is:



C. Medium range



Explanation:



Medium range exercises are used to gain extra strength and fitness. Usually, heavyweights are used with less number of repetitions. These sort of exercises are mostly the hardest t do. All you need is to have a high level of motivation and stamina, which can be gained by running or cycling.

A softball has a mass of 0.18 kg. What is the gravitational force on Earth due to the ball, and what is the Earth's resulting ac
alexgriva [62]

Answer:F=1.7802

Explanation:

Since we've been given the mass to be .18kg,we are asked to find the Force of which the formulae is

F=ma where f-force,m-mass and a-acceleration due to gravity

So we can just substitute

F-?.m=.18 and a9.89

F=.18×9.89

F=1.7802N

You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital spee
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s

As a train enters the station it slows down from 40 m/s to a 10 m/s in 5 seconds
lora16 [44]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o}-a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 10 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 40 [m/s]

t = time = 5 [s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now replacing:

10=40-a*5\\40-10=a*5\\30=5*a\\a=6[m/s^{2}]

Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the velecity is decreasing.

2)

To solve this second part we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2} -2*a*x\\

where:

x = distance [m]

(10)^{2} =(40)^{2} -2*6*x\\100=1600-12*x\\12*x=1600-100\\12*x=1500\\x=125[m]
