The car is accelerating at 3 m/s² in the positive direction (to the right). By Newton's second law, the net force on the car in this direction is
∑ F = F[a] - F[f] - F[air] = ma
3100 N - 200 N - F[air] = (650 kg) (3 m/s²)
Solve for F[air] :
F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - (650 kg) (3 m/s²)
F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - 1950 N
F[air] = 950 N
The net force on the hanging object is zero. If it were not zero, then the object would be accelerating in some direction.
Newton’s first law of motion, also called the law on inertia, states that an object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless compelled to change that state by an external force.Newton’s second law of motion states that if a net force acts on an object, it will cause an acceleration of that object.Newton’s third law of motion<span> states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. hope this wasnt two long!</span>
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.
