Answer:
Explanation:
where;
= final velocity = 0
= initial velocity = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
= acceleration
= distance
First all of, because acceleration is given in m/s and not km/h, you need to convert 60km/h to m/s. Our conversion factors here are 1km = 1000m and 1h = 3600s
Solve for a;
Begin by subtracting
Divide by 2d
Now plug in your values:
If you're wondering why I calculated acceleration first is because in order to find force, we need 2 things: mass and acceleration.
m = mass = 900kg
a = acceleration = -2.78m/s
It's negative because the force has to be applied in the opposite direction that the car is moving.
