a motor car of mass 1200 kg is moving along a straight line with a uniform velocity of 90 km / h its velocity is slowed down to 18 km/ h in 4 sec by an unbalanced force calculate the accelaration and change in momentum also calculate the magnitude of the force required |

Answer» m=1200kg u=90km/h =>90×5/18=25m/s v=18km/h =>18×5/18=5m/s t=4s Thus,acceleration of the body is------ a=(v-u)/t a=(5-25)/4 a=-20/4 a= -5m/s² Thus,change in momentum of the body is------ mv-mu 1200×5-1200×25 1200(5-25) 1200×(-20) -24000 KG m/s Thus,the magnitude of force required is------ F=ma F=1200×(-5) F= -6000N,or 6000N in the OPPOSITE direction. |
