a car accelerates from rest to 28 m/s in 6 seconds. if the cars mass is 150.00 kg. what force is produced by the car?
To find the force produced by the car, we can use Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).
Given:
Mass of the car (m) = 150.00 kg
Acceleration of the car (a) = Change in velocity / Time taken
First, let's find the change in velocity:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (as the car is at rest)
Final velocity (v) = 28 m/s
Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity
= v - u
= 28 m/s - 0 m/s
= 28 m/s
Now, let's calculate the acceleration:
Acceleration (a) = Change in velocity / Time taken
= 28 m/s / 6 s
= 4.67 m/s²
Now that we have the mass and acceleration, we can find the force:
Force (F) = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)
= 150.00 kg * 4.67 m/s²
= 700.5 N
Therefore, the force produced by the car is 700.5 Newtons.
