Answer:

the initial velocity of the car is 12.04 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

force applied by the break, f = 1,398 N

distance moved by the car before stopping, d = 25 m

weight of the car, W = 4,729 N

The mass of the car is calculated as;

W = mg

m = W/g

m = (4,729) / (9.81)

m = 482.06 kg

The deceleration of the car when the force was applied;

-F = ma

a = -F/m

a = -1,398 / 482.06

a = -2.9 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

where;

v is the final velocity of the car at the point it stops = 0

u is the initial velocity of the car before the break was applied

0 = u² + 2(-a)d

0 = u² - 2ad

u² = 2ad

u = √2ad

u = √(2 x 2.9 x 25)

u =√(145)

u = 12.04 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the car is 12.04 m/s

Why is the law of gravity a scientific law
Yuri [45]
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.

If a 2 cm vector represents speed, and 1 cm equals 5 m/s, how fast is the represented
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 10m/s

Explanation: Since a single vector with length of 1cm expresses 5m/s, the vector which has a length doubled from the original vector should have the speed which is also doubled.
