Question
3 (a-c)
Explanation / Answer
Here,
m = 950 Kg
final speed , v = 0 m/s
initial speed, u = 92.5 km/hr = 25.7 m/s
d = 120 m
a) let the acceleration is a
Using third equation of motion
v^2 - u^2 = 2 * a * d
0 - 25.7^2 = 2 * a * 120
a = -2.75 m/s^2
force acting on the car = m * a
force acting on the car = 2.75 * 950
force acting on the car = 2613 N
b) for d = 2 m
Using third equation of motion
v^2 - u^2 = 2 * a * d
0 - 25.7^2 = 2 * a * 2
a = 165 m/s^2
force acting on the car = m * a
force acting on the car = 165 * 950
force acting on the car = 1.57 *10^5 N
c)
ratio of forces = 1.57 *10^5/(2613)
ratio of forces = 60 times
