Question

An 1825 kg car is moving to the right at a constant speed of 1.24 m/s. What is the net force on the car?

Answer 1

Answer:

net force is 0

Explanation:

as acceleration is zero, net force equals to zero

Answer 2

Statement:

An 1825 kg car is moving to the right at a constant speed of 1.24 m/s.

To find out:

The net force on the car.

Solution:

• Here, it is given in the statement that the car is moving with constant speed.
• We know, acceleration is the change in speed within a time period.
• Since, here the speed is constant, so there is no change of speed.
• Therefore, there is no acceleration.

• We know, force = mass × acceleration

• Therefore, net force on the car
• = 1825 × 0
• = 0

Answer:

The net force on the car is 0.
