Answer:
–1652 N. The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to car.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass (m) of car = 1400 kg
Time (t) = 11 s
Initial velocity (u) = 25 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 12 m/s
Force (F) applied on the car =?
Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the car. This can be obtained as follow:
Time (t) = 11 s
Initial velocity (u) = 25 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 12 m/s
Acceleration (a) =?
a = (v – u) /t
a = (12 – 25) /11
a = –13/11
a = –1.18 m/s²
Finally, we shall determine the force on the car as follow:
Acceleration (a) = –1.18 m/s²
Mass (m) of car = 1400 kg
Force (F) applied on the car =?
F = ma
F = 1400 × –1.18
F = –1652 N
Thus, the force on the car is –1652 N. The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to car.
