Question

A car of weight 11000 N moves with constant velocity along a horizontal road.A driving force of 5000 N acts on the car what is the force opposing the motion of the car

Answer 1

Answer:

5000 N

Explanation:

Since F - f = ma, where F = driving force = 5000 N, f = opposing force, m = mass of car and a = acceleration of car.

Since the car is moving with constant velocity, a = 0.

So, F - f = ma

F - f = m(0)

F - f = 0

F = f.

Since F = 5000 N and F = f, f = 5000 N.

So, the opposing force is 5000 N
