Answer:
A 925 kg car accelerates uniformly from rest to a velocity of 25.0 mls south in 10.0 s. What is the net force acting on the car during this time?
F=(925*25)/10
F=2312.5 N to south
Hi there!
We can begin by calculating the acceleration experienced by the car.
vf = vi + at
The initial velocity is 0 (at rest), so:
25 = at
25/10 = a = 2.5 m/s²
Using Newton's Second Law:
∑F = ma, where:
∑F = net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
Plug in the values:
∑F = 925 · 2.5 = 2312.5 N
