5.An automobile vehicle has a mass of 1500 kg. What must be the force between the vehicle and road if the vehicle is to be stopped with a negative acceleration of 1.7 m s–2? |

Answer» Explanation: Given Mass of the automobile vehicle, m= 1500 kg Final velocity, V= 0 (FINALLY the automobile stops) Acceleration of the automobile, a= 1.7 ms2 FIND out We need to find the force between the vehicle and road if the vehicle is to be stopped with a negative acceleration of 1.7 ms2 Solution Using, Newton’s SECOND law of MOTION Formula Force = Mass x Acceleration Substituting the known values we get F= 1500 x (1.7) = 2550 N Answer Hence, the force between the automobile and the road is 2550 N, in the direction opposite to the motion of the automobile. |
