If a man pushes on a wall with some force then according to Newton's third law, wall will also apply force on man with same magnitude but opposite in direction.
Answer:
32000 N
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s
Distance (s) = 10 m
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg
Force (F) =?
Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the the car. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s
Distance (s) = 10 m
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) =?
v² = u² + 2as
0² = 40² + (2 × a × 10)
0 = 1600 + 20a
Collect like terms
0 – 1600 = 20a
–1600 = 20a
Divide both side by –1600
a = –1600 / 20
a = –80 m/s²
The negative sign indicate that the car is decelerating i.e coming to rest.
Finally, we shall determine the force needed to stop the car. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg
Acceleration (a) = –80 m/s²
Force (F) =?
F = ma
F = 400 × –80
F = – 32000 N
NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to the motion of the car.
Answer: Pedaling your bike : acceleration :: applying the brakes : inertia.
The reason I think this to be the answer to the analogy is because there is energy and work used in both processes (and the unit focuses on forces); gravity is constant and does not change whether one pedals or applies brakes. And I do not think it's deceleration, as deceleration tends to equate to acceleration within the physics perspective.
Edit: I should also add that since you clarified that your unit is motion and forces, Newtons 1st law is the law of inertia. The way to change an objects motion for it to slow down is by applying an additional force. That resistance the bike experiences to slow is the process of inertia. Inertia happens in order to accelerate an object (either by slowing it down, or speeding it up): i.e., the resistance to change.
Answer:
Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.
