Force = mass * acceleration
F = ma
8 N = 2 kg * a
8 = 2a
2a = 8
a = 8/2 = 4
acceleration = 4 m/s²
Answer:
Total distance = 6.5 km
Explanation:
Let the distance be denoted by the vectors drawn from A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Then the distance covered can be calculated by adding the vectors in the direction given.
Total distance = 3km + 1km+ 1.5km+ 0.5km+ 0.5km
Total distance = 6.5 km
If we were to find the displacement ( shortest distance) then the head to tail rule would be applied using the vectors.
To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the definition of kinematic energy as half the product between mass and squared velocity. So,
Here,
m = Mass
V = Velocity
Replacing,
Therefore the final kinetic energy of the two car system is 72.6kJ
