Answer:

1.6875m/s²

Explanation:

acceleration =  \frac{final \: velocity \:  -  \: initial \: velocity}{time \: taken}

<em> </em><em>a </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>unknown.</em>

<em>v </em><em>(</em><em>final </em><em>velocity)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>7</em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s</em>

<em>u </em><em>(</em><em>initial </em><em>velocity</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s </em><em>(</em><em>as </em><em>the </em><em>car</em><em> </em><em>was </em><em>stationary </em><em>in </em><em>the </em><em>traffic </em><em>lights)</em><em>.</em>

<em>t </em><em>(</em><em>time </em><em>taken)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>s</em>

<em>a =  \frac{27 - 0}{16}</em>

<em>acceleration</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1.6875</em><em>m</em><em>/</em><em>s²</em>

hope it helps. :)

Write down Newton's second law in terms of momentum and acceleration. Write down this law in the form of differential equation (
svetoff [14.1K]

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force. The mathematical expression is given by:

F=\dfrac{d(mv)}{dt}

Where

F is the applied force

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity with which it is moving

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Momentum of a particle is given by the product of mass and velocity as :

p=mv

Hence, this is the required solution.
