Answer:

640 N

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of horse, m = 40kg

initial speed of horse, u = 8 m/s

final speed of horse, v = 0 m/s (because horse comes to a sudden stop)

time taken to stop, t = 0.5 s

recall that acceleration = change in speed / time taken for the change

a = (v - u) / t (substituting the above values)

a = (0 - 8) / 0.5

a = -16 m/s² (i.e it is a deceleration of 16 m/s²)

since we are not concerned about the direction of the force, we can simply use the absolute value of acceleration which is a = 16 m/s²

also recall that

Force = mass x acceleration

F = ma (substituting the values above)

F = 40kg x 16 m/s

F = 640 N

Answer:

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$ where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

$r=e^u$

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\$

Here

$r=e^u\\r=e^{\pi/4}\\r=2.1932 m$

$r'=e^u.u'\\r'=2.1932 \times 2\\r'=4.3864 m$

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\a_{\theta}=(2.1932\times 4+2\times 4.3864 \times 2)\\a_{\theta}=26.32 m/s\\$

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$

The radial component is given as

$a_r=r''-r\theta'^2$

Here

$r''=e^u.u'^2+e^u u''\\r''=2.1932 \times (2)^2+2.1932\times 4\\r''=17.5456 m$

$a_r=r''-ru'^2\\a_r=17.5456-2.1932\times (2)^2\\a_r=8.7728 m/s^2$

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$
