A car is moving with a velocity of 16m/s when beakrs are applied. the force applied by the brake is 1000n .the mass of the car alogn with its passengers is 1200kg how long should the brakes be applied |

Answer» Answer: given that, Vi=16 m/s and to stop the car final velocity should be zero therefore Vf=0, and we have stopping force F= -1000 N (SINCE, force being acted OPPOSITE the speed of the car) Total mass of the car, m=1200 Kg therefore by Newtons' second law net force= mass * acceleration, and acceleration, a=(Vf-Vi)/t, so -1000 = 1200*(0-16)/t -1000 = 1200*(-16)/t 1000 = 1200*16/t 1000*t = 1200*16 t = (1200*16)/1000 t=192/10 t = 19.2 seconds The brake should be APPLIED for 19.2 seconds in order to stop the car. have a good day |
