Question

A train that is accelerating at 5m/s² down the tracks and crashes into a car. If the train weighs 20,000kg, how much force does the car experience?

Answer 1

Answer:

100,000 N

Explanation:

Force, F = mass, m × acceleration, a

⇒F = ma

m= 20, 000kg

a = 5m/s²

∴ F = 5 × 20,000 = 100,000N
