Answer:
1.The force required to stop the shopping cart is, F = 12.25 N
Explanation:
Given data,
The mass of the shopping cart, m = 7 kg
The initial velocity of the shopping cart, u = 3.5 m/s
The final velocity of the shopping cart, v = 0 m/s
The time period of acceleration, t = 2 s
The change in momentum of the cart,
p = m(u - v)
= 7 (3.5 - 0)
= 24.5 kg m/s
The force is defined as the rate of change of momentum. To stop the shopping cart, the force required is given by the formula
F = p / t
= 24.5 / 2
= 12.25 N
Hence, the force required to stop the shopping cart is, F = 12.25 N
2.
We have: F = m × v/t
Here, m = 8500 Kg
v = 20 m/s
t = 10 s
Substitute their values into the expression,
F = 8500 × 20/10
F = 8500 × 2
F = 17000 N
In short, final answer would be 17000 N
Hope this helps!!
