Answer:
The second law: When a force is applied to a car, the change in motion is proportional to the force divided by the mass of the car. This law is expressed by the famous equation F = ma, where F is a force, m is the mass of the car, and a is the acceleration, or change in motion, of the car
As this happens over twelve seconds, you would take the total difference in velocities and divide it by twelve to find the change per second
44.0 m/s - 2.0 m/s = 42.0 m/s
42.0 m/s / 12 s = 3.5 m/s2
the acceleration of the rock would be 3.5 m/s2
The momentum of the car is 4.4x10^3 kg•m/sec
The sum of all forces applied to the object = (mass) x (acceleration)
The sum of all forces applied to the object = (30) x (15)
= <u>450 newtons</u>, in the direction of the acceleration.
