Question

A car of mass 5000 kg was initially moving at 100 km/h and stops at a distance of 55 m. Find the

Answer 1

Answer:

 |F| = 35 kN

Explanation:

a = F/m

100 km/hr(1000 m/km / 3600 s/hr) = 27.8 m/s

v² = u² + 2as

   a = (v² - u²) / 2s

F/m = (v² - u²) / 2s

   F = m(v² - u²) / 2s

   F = 5000(0² - 27.8²) / 2(55)

   F = - 35,072.9517...
