An vehicle has a mass of 1500 kg. What must be the force between the vehicle and the road if the vehicle is to be stopped with a negative acceleration of 1.7 ms⁻²? ( Ans: 2550 N in a direction opposite to that of the vehicle) |

Answer» Acceleration of the Vehicles = -1.7 m/s². Mass of the Vehicles = 1500 kg. USING the NEWTON's Second law of the MOTION, Force = mass × acceleration. ∴ Force = 1500 × -1.7 ⇒ Force = -2550 N. Negative sign shows that the Force is acting in Opposite Direction. Hence the force of 2500 N is acting in opposite direction. HOPE it helps. |
