Answer:
The mini Cooper will experience the greater force
Explanation:
Generally, a bulldozer has a greater mass compared to a Mini Cooper hence when both of these vehicles interact in an head on collision the Mini Cooper will experience a greater force because the bulldozer has a greater momentum
v = v₀ + at
v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time
Given values:
v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s
Plug in and solve for v:
v = 0 + 9.81(3)
v = 29.4m/s
There are three forces acting on the book.
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces
Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).
∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N
Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
