Well,
When an object's velocity changes, we call it acceleration.
Acceleration: The time rate of change in an object's velocity
Answer:
Explanation:
Ok, the average speed can be calculate with the next equation:
(1)
Basically the car cover the same distance "d" two times, but at different speeds, so:
and the total time would be the time t1 required to go from A to B plus the time t2 required to go back from B to A:
From basic physics we know:
so:
Using the previous information in equation (1)
Factoring:
(2)
Finally, replacing the data in (2)
Using V= vo +at with Vo = 0 and a= 4m/sec2.
V= 0+ 4x8= 32m/s
The answer would be 981 newtons or 220.46 pounds.
