Answer: (c) 2000 N
Explanation:
Given Data :
▪ Initial velocity = zero ( body is at rest)
▪ Distance travelled = 100m
▪ Final kinetic energy = 200000J
To Find :
▪ Resultant force acting on the car.
Therefore:
W = F × d = ΔK ----------------- eq 1.
where,
W = work done
F = applied force
d = distance
ΔK = change in kinetic energy
Calculation :
→ F × d = Kf - Ki ----------------- eq 2.
Where:
Kf = Final kinetic energy = 200000
Ki = initial kinetic energy = 0
Substituting our values into the formula from equation (2)
→ F × 100 = 200000 - 0
→ F = 200000/100
→ F = 2000N
