initial speed of the racer is given as

v_i = 212 mi/h

v_i = 212*\frac{1609}{3600} = 94.75 m/s

after applied force the final speed is given as

v_f = 45 mi/h

v_f = 45 * \frac{1609}{3600} = 20.11 m/s

now during this speed change the racer will cover total distance 185 m

so here we will use kinematics

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

20.11^2 - 94.75^2 = 2*a*185

a = -23.2 m/s^2

now the force that chute will exert on the racer will be given as

F = ma

F = 898* 23.2

F = 2.1* 10^4 N

B) here following is the strategy for solving it

1. first we used kinematics to find the acceleration of the car

2. then we used Newton's II law (F = ma) to find the force

A large box slides across a frictionless surface with a velocity of 12 m/s and a mass of 4
denpristay [2]
Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s

Using the formula F = M* A. What is the acceleration of a .5 kg
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:32 m/s/s

Explanation: since F=M*A, F=16N, M=0.5kg, A= F/M

A=16/0.5

A=32 m/s/s
